Digital Academic Resources: 

A fully dedicated website is available with 100+ academic success resources. These academic resources are designed to support all students and applicable to both in-person and online learning. Additionally, if individualized support is needed, one-on-one Academic Success coaching is available by appointment in either the Center for Academic Success or virtually via Microsoft Teams. The following is a list of topics that academic resources are available for: time management & procrastination, memory & concentration, note-taking & study aids, technology & software, motivation & attitude, critical reading, writing & rhetoric, learning preferences, and academic anxiety. The Academic Resources website can be accessed by clicking HERE.

Academic Support Services: 

Free tutoring is provided to students to assist in achieving academic success. A Peer Academic Tutor is for subjects such as math, history, etc., and meets one-hour a week to help cement classroom learning. A Peer Academic Coach, on the other hand, assists a student with studying techniques, organizational skills, and serves as an accountability partner as it relates to course learning outcomes and requirements. Interested students will complete a brief Academic Assistance Survey to receive tailored support in either academic tutoring, writing support, academic success coaching, and/or an accessibility services referral. NetTutor, a 24/7 virtual tutoring option is also available for CU online students.

*  Cornerstone Theological Seminary students should utilize their courses’ professor and peer coach due to the specificity of the seminary’s writing format and Greek / Hebrew language courses.

The Writing Center: 

The Writing Center is a service for all enrolled students to assist with grammar, syntax, formatting, citations, style, and answering general writing-related questions.  In-person schedule appointments or virtual appointments via Microsoft Teams can be made by emailing academic.success@cornerstone.edu, while walk-in appointments are available to students during designated open hours, usually advertised on MyCornerstone, the Miller Library website and campus posters.  

Testing Services:

Testing services are available to all students for both accessibility-related alternative location testing, and for professor-approved makeup exams.
