Center for Teaching and Learning
Since 1978, the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) has helped thousands of students realize their dreams of earning college degrees. As the primary office of academic support at Southern Vermont College, the CTL provides a wide range of services (free of charge) that help students get the most out of their college years—whether they are struggling in class or want to progress from “good” to “great.” In fact, according to the American Council on Education, students who use academic support services have demonstrably increased grade-point averages (GPAs) than students who go it alone.
The Center for Teaching and Learning also houses TRIO, a federally-funded program designed to provide enhanced support to targeted individuals—the first in their families to go to college, from low-income households, and/or having a documented disability—as they progress toward college graduation.
