Center for learning Excellence (CLE) :

The Center for Learning Excellence (CLE) encompasses four major services: Peer Tutoring, First-Year Experience, Inclusion Program, and neoCedrus. These services provide AUI students with academic and student life support. The CLE adopts a peer-to-peer methodology to transform learning from a vertical process to a horizontal one. This not only makes learning more approachable and less intimidating, but also empowers students to structure their education in a way that works for them. On top of being equipped with a steady academic foundation, our Tutors and Mentors are internationally trained and certified by the College Reading and Learning Association’s (CRLA) to meet the needs of their peers. While our mentors provide new students with advice and guidance, our tutors assist their fellow students by working to find the learning methodology that suits them. 

Peer Success Services:

Peer Tutoring Services:

Private tutoring is offered in the Center for Learning Excellence by request through the online platform Kudos. Students can request private tutoring to clarify course concepts, discuss book chapters, or prepare for quizzes and exams. Private tutoring is free of charge. Students are encouraged to use this service to improve their grades and better grasp the course material. However, these private tutoring sessions are not meant to solve class assignments, homework, or projects; the CLE provides the tools for students to use throughout and beyond their education at AUI. Group tutoring sessions consist of practice and problem-solving with a tutor’s help. Group tutoring sessions can be organized by the professor of a specific class to further support their students. Practice exercises will be suggested by the faculty teaching the course. Students may suggest an exercise they would like to work on, but it must be approved by the tutor first. 

Inclusion Program :

To promote equity among its community members through inclusive practices school-wide and to eliminate any discrimination, Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, through the Center for Learning Excellence (CLE), welcomes students with cognitive or behavioral difficulties and offers flexible support services tailored to their needs.  

To seek assistance, the Inclusion Team strongly recommends students to contact them and inform them about difficulties and support needs. To benefit from the Inclusion Program, students with documented learning disabilities are encouraged to apply within one week of receiving the application form through an email. Filling out the form will allow the team to acquire information about the student’s needs and other background information before contacting the student for an appointment. Any information provided is kept confidential and used to academically support the student.  

It should be stated, however, that the Inclusion Program does not exempt students from their academic responsibilities, as they are held accountable like any other student.  

neoCedrus :

neoCedrus is a student-led unit under the Center for Learning and Excellence that specializes in the development, deployment, and maintenance of IT solutions at AUI. It empowers students from different majors to develop production-ready projects for AUI and other stakeholders.
