Tutor requests for the Fall 2009 semester will be taken from Wednesday, Sept. 23 until Monday, Nov. 9  

To Request a Tutor:

  1. Meet with your professor. Requests for tutors will not be considered until a student has met with his/her professor to discuss possible options for departmental tutoring, attending office hours, group study sessions, etc. Please also note that tutors cannot be assigned until you have received back at least one graded assignment from the class for which you are requesting a tutor.
  2. Fill out a tutor request form and questionnaire at the Academic Resource Center, Leavey Center, Suite 335. The Center is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  3. When you submit the request form, schedule an appointment to meet with the Coordinator of Student Services.
