Departmental Tutoring Schedule
We are dedicated to helping our students obtain quality tutoring for the majority
of undergraduate courses. Individual tutoring, as well as small group tutoring consisting
of 2-4 students per group, is available each semester in many undergraduate courses.
Tutors, hired for both their knowledge and ability to communicate, work with students
to identify problem areas and misconceptions about the course material, provide frequent
feedback, and work towards creating self-motivated, independent students. Tutoring
staff and scheduling is managed within each academic department. If you have questions
or concerns about the schedule, please contact the academic department.
Tutoring will be held in the Academic Support Center-McAfee 1611. Tutoring is not available during the summer.
First day for Tutoring: Tuesday, Janaury 20th 2026
Last day for Tutoring: Friday, May 1st 2026
