Academic Integrity Resources to Assist You

As we delve into the excitement of 2011, the Office of Academic Compliance would like to remind you of the variety of information and resources that are available to students. We hope you find this information helpful and we wish you success in 2011.

Center for Learning and Advancement:

The CLA is a wonderful resource for students enrolled at GCU! The CLA offers free tutoring services in a variety of areas, such as writing, APA formatting, math, and many others. If you are interested in inquiring about services, please contact the CLA directly:

ThinkingStorm Tutoring Service:

Because GCU wants every student to be successful, GCU pays for the first 10 hours of ThinkingStorm tutoring that any GCU student uses. Students then have the option of paying out of pocket. We highly recommend that students utilize the Center for Learning & Advancement, which provides tutoring to GCU students at no charge.

Please contact the CLA for additional information on ThinkingStorm.
