Online Tutoring

Work with a tutor in real-time or submit questions or essays for a next day response. You can also pre-schedule online appointments using Smarthinking, a free online tutoring service for our students.

Please note: We have learned of a Web site that may confuse and/or trick our students into paying for the tutoring support we make available to them - free of charge - via Smarthinking. NOTE the single "t" in the name of the legitimate site. An unofficial site has apparently been launched (www.smartthinking.com - notice the double "t.") This unofficial site contains listings for an array of vendors, unaffiliated with Excelsior or the legitimate Smarthinking, offering fee-based tutorial assistance on multiple subjects. As an Excelsior student, you can access the legitimate site via the Resources tab at your MyExcelsior main page. (Login required.)

Open Educational Resources (OER)

OER are teaching and learning materials that are readily available via the Web, at no or low-cost. They can be useful when preparing for Excelsior College Examinations, UExcel® exams, or taking Excelsior courses.
