The SLA lab times are formally attached to the student\u2019s class schedule and there is no additional charge to the student for this support. These mandatory sessions are facilitated by successful upper-level students, who, in collaboration with the professor, develop collaborative learning sessions to guide students as they learn how to write. The SLA facilitators clarify lecture points for the students and assist them in understanding the expectations of the professor, while additionally focusing on improved study skills. SLA activities frequently include study guides, collaborative learning\/group activities, and study skills &#8212; such as discovering your preferred learning style, efficient note-taking, and time management.<\/p>\n<h2>The Center for International Services &amp; Programs (CISP)<\/h2>\n<p>CISP &#8220;provides services to international students through\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.csuohio.edu\/international\/international-orientation-0\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #000000\">International Orientation,\u00a0International Student Services, as well as domestic and international students through\u00a0Education Abroad\u00a0and the\u00a0National Student Exchange<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">.&#8221; Students can visit their office in Main<\/span> Classroom room 412 Monday &#8211; Thursday from 1 &#8211; 3pm.
