The Center for Academic Performance (CAP)

The Center for Academic Performance (CAP) is committed to partnering with all HSC students to help them meet their personal and academic goals by providing comprehensive academic support. CAP services and programs are designed to enhance all levels of academic performance through academic consultations, learning strategies, and self-management. Academic counseling, learning and study strategy assessments, writing support, peer tutoring, and a variety of workshops are offered to all HSC students. CAP staff also partner with faculty to support students in periods of academic difficulty. We provide these services to ALL HSC students, whether you attend classes on campus or online!

  • Academic Counseling – The Learning Specialists can help students find and implement effective strategies through consultations, individualized planning, and academic support workshops.
  • Tutoring Services – Tutoring services provide the opportunity to share strategies for organizing and learning the large volume of material required to succeed in graduate and professional schools. The following tutoring options are provided, as available: individual tutoring, small group tutoring, large group tutorials, and drop-ins.
  • Writing Support – Students may receive feedback online and in-person regarding writing samples. Feedback focuses on flow, logic, organization, development, diction, and syntax, as well as additional information to assist with improving writing skills.

All appointments can be scheduled virtually or in-person. Virtual appointments are done using Zoom (a Zoom account is not required to participate).
