What specific services do the Centers for Independent Learning (CILs) provide?
CILS offer more than 200 non-traditionally delivered college courses. Courses are offered in a broad variety of learning and instructional formats: print, video, computer-mediated, radio and television broadcasts, CD ROM, and Internet. Audio and video media are available for convenient checkout or full-term rental, or they can be used for study at the off-campus centers. Assessment and Testing Lab facilities at each center allow placement testing, distance learning course testing, and both career interest and proficiency testing. Most courses are supported by PAR Testing (computer-based course testing and scoring). Academic skills courses help students refresh or develop their reading, math, writing or study skills. Students may also prepare for the GED at the off-campus centers. Each center is equipped with voice-mail, e-mail and fax to support interaction at a distance between the student and instructor.
