The Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) delivers services that nurture collaborative learning for students to empower them to succeed academically in a secure, accessible, and reliable manner.
The CAE provides undergraduate students with free academic assistance and is led by a team of peer tutors who are also students in the UPIKE classroom. The CAE offers a variety of services, including study skills, content specialties, and workshops for mid-terms and finals in undergraduate classes. The CAE is open Monday – Thursday from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. and Fridays 8 a.m.-3 p.m. The CAE is located on the ground floor of Allara Library. Students can drop in to the CAE to see tutors' schedules, receive one-on-one assistance, and/or study independently.
The goal of the CAE is to instill confidence in UPIKE students and assist them in becoming independent learners who rely on their strengths and abilities for academic success.
