University Tutoring Center
The University Tutoring Center (UTC) provides additional instruction and academic resources in order to help CBU students succeed in their coursework.
University Writing Center
Writing Center coaches are trained to cultivate purpose-driven writers, communicators, and influencers. They are here to help students develop the necessary process and strategies to become more rhetorical writers, who communicate clearly and persuasively. While they are not editors, the coaches provide useful resources and help students to recognize areas for improvement.
Veterans Resource Center

The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) is committed to providing a supportive environment and a committed campus culture to all Student veterans and their dependents. The VRC is devoted to assisting veterans with their transition to post-secondary education. The VRC is dedicated to providing Student veterans/dependents a place to study, relax, fellowship with other veterans, increase peer mentorship, and offer computer access with complimentary printing.
