Consultation Hours
Each tutor and learning assistant has three (3) regular consultation hours each week during which time he/she is available to meet with students on a drop-in basis. All consultation hours are in STU 301.

Tutors and Learning Assistants
Tutors are both undergraduate and graduate students. All tutors are highly qualified upper-division students who participate in a national tutor certification program. A tutor’s ultimate goal is to help students become independent learners by assisting them understand the learning process and acquire necessary problem-solving skills.

Learning Assistants work with students to develop specific study skills and strategies. They assist in helping students determine their preferred learning style, as well as hone their time management and test-taking skills.

Additional Times
All appointments outside of regular consultation hours must be conducted in a quiet public place such as a library, common study area, or classroom. Sessions must never take place in a private residence.
