Enhancing Student Learning and Success in Persistently Challenging Courses Grants Program
This grants program aims to increase student success in persistently challenging courses — that is, courses with high rates of grades of D, F, and withdrawals (W), and courses with equity gaps. The Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning will support you in this work through financial support, coaching, collaboration, professional development, and/or other assistance.

At the time of its inception, the Center was established to "encourage and support the enrichment of teaching and learning skills."
