Some Structured Learning Assistance Workshops have very high attendance rates for students who are required to attend. In such cases, one or more tutors may be assigned to help the facilitator within their scheduled workshops. Participation is limited to the specific SLA Section.

• Example: PHAR 311, CHEM 231

STANDBY TUTORING

Tutors are hired based on the needs of the Tutoring Center. For example, if a student is interested in tutoring for Nursing, they may be hired as a standby tutor. This means they are not guaranteed regular hours but are available to provide tutoring when there is a demonstrated need or demand.

When the Tutoring Center receives a request for a subject that requires a standby tutor, staff will contact the tutor by email or text to confirm their availability to work with the student who requested assistance. Once the tutor’s availability is confirmed, the Tutoring Center staff will then contact the student who made the request to schedule the session.

All tutoring sessions must take place onsite at the Tutoring Center during our regular hours of operation:

Monday-Thursday, 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

Friday, 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
