Student-Athlete Tutoring
Tutorial services are available free of charge to all current varsity student-athletes. Tutoring is meant to assist students in gaining a deeper understanding of course material. Tutors are not intended to teach course material.
Get the Most Out of Your Tutoring Sessions
- Provide a class syllabus to the tutor prior to your first session to ensure the tutor is prepared.
- Have questions ready to ask the tutor (and if time permits, send them to the tutor prior to each session).
- Come prepared with all necessary course materials such as books, notes, syllabus, and course packets.
- Show up on time for your tutoring sessions.
- Set up future tutoring sessions on a quarterly basis to ensure your session times remain consistent.
Requesting a Tutor
Current varsity student-athletes may request a tutor by following the procedures outlined below.
- Fill out and submit a tutor request form at least one week prior to needing a tutor. A response acknowledging the request will be sent within 48 hours.
- Once a tutor has been assigned, a follow-up email with contact information will be sent. It is the student-athlete's responsibility to contact the tutor and set up the session(s).
- If no tutor is available, the tutorial coordinator will contact campus resources to identify potential tutors. Until one is secured, student-athletes should seek alternative assistance from their professors, TAs, classmates, or other campus resources.
- Tutoring sessions must take place in common areas on campus or be conducted online via Teams or Zoom. Each session is expected to begin on time.
- If a scheduled tutoring session must be canceled, it is the student-athlete's responsibility to notify the tutor. If the tutor cannot be reached, the student-athlete must notify the tutorial coordinator. For non-emergency situations, student-athletes are required to submit notification at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled session time.
- Failure to attend a scheduled appointment without providing a 24-hour advance notice to the tutor will result in a warning. Upon report of a second no-show, the student-athlete will lose tutoring privileges for the remainder of the quarter.
