Center for Academic Enrichment

Achieve Your Academic Potential

The Center for Academic Enrichment (CAE) at Luther College empowers students to grow as confident, independent learners equipped to succeed both in and beyond the classroom. Rooted in the college’s commitment to the liberal arts, service, student support, CAE supports the academic and personal development of all students through individualized services tailored to their unique goals and challenges.

We offer a range of free, student-centered resources—including academic coaching, peer tutoring, and skill-building workshops—grounded in research-based practices. By fostering self-advocacy, resilience, and a strong sense of agency, CAE helps students build essential academic skills, strengthen their self-efficacy, and prepare for a lifetime of learning and contribution.

File an SOS Referral

Submitting an SOS Referral is a way for faculty, staff, and students to notify the CAE when students are experiencing academic or personal difficulties. The referral will then be triaged and sent to appropriate departments creating a ‘circle of care’ for the student.

While the SOS Referral system is a retention strategy, it is required that professors only use this tool when all other means of contacting the student has been unsuccessful.

Some reasons to file an SOS Referral include when a student:

• Frequently does not attend class
• Lacks engagement
• Earns a low grade and tutoring is recommended

File an SOS Referral

Then click “Send Alert”, search for the student, and send alert.
