Tutoring
is available to all student athletes, free of charge. Tutors can help
you with course content as well as study strategies. Tutors are available
in virtually all general education program subjects including natural
sciences, mathematics, social sciences, and the humanities. Tutoring is
a strategy that can help students learn difficult material. For other
students, tutoring can help master the material-to earn A's instead of
B's. Tutoring, however, is NOT a substitute for attending class and doing
the work
GENERAL
RULES AND GUIDELINES:
1. You are permitted to work with an individual assigned tutor three hours/week/course.
2. You will meet with tutors at the Learning Center.
3. Note tutors hours/subjects on your weekly planner.
