The Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) was founded in 1986 with a mission to assist faculty and teaching assistants in becoming more effective instructors and hence to improve the learning of Georgia Tech students. CETL offers undergraduate courses in Undergraduate Teaching Assistant Preparation, Fundamentals of Tutoring, and Principles of Learning and Teaching, as well as graduate-level courses in Classroom Management, Academic Writing, and Academic Professionalism. For international graduate students and teaching assistants who need to improve their English communication skills, CETL offers courses in conjunction with the Georgia Tech Language Institute. Finally, CETL offers training and assistantships associated with its National Science foundation-(NSF) sponsored Student and Teacher Enhancement Partnership (STEP) program.

All CETL graduate courses may be taken either for audit or pass/fail, and these hours may not be counted toward any degree requirements. No graduate student may take more than two CETL courses in any one semester, and all of these courses require the permission of both the student's home unit and CETL. A non-credit option remains for those students whose home units will not permit the credit version of any of the courses.

Students wishing to enroll in any of CETL's undergraduate or graduate courses must request a permit through the CETL home page (www.cetl.gatech.edu). The STEP courses are only open to participants in the STEP program, which has its own application process. Interested students should contact CETL directly.
