The Center for Academic Achievement (CAA) is a resource for all Carlow students who want to become stronger and more independent learners or want to improve their academic skills and strategies.

- Identify learning style.

- Develop new study and learning strategies.
- Prepare for tests.
- Build memory and critical thinking skills.
- Develop time management and goal-setting skills.
- Address study-related anxieties.
- Work on writing techniques and grammar.
- Review research paper formats.
- Increase critical reading comprehension.
- Submit items to their ePortfolio.
- Work on note-taking.
The CAA also has an online resource center, available to all current Carlow students, staff and faculty. For tip sheets, self-assessments, and links to other great resources, simply
