Based on requests, tutoring is available for a variety of C.O.D. courses. Given tutor availability, students proficient in subject areas provide tutoring to other students who request this service. Tutoring is intended to supplement, not replace class attendance and personal study time.
Tutors help to clarify points from lectures, labs, discussions or assigned readings.
Restrictions regarding tutoring, locations, dates and times may apply based on availability. Peer tutors are enrolled for at least six credit hours at C.O.D. during the quarter they tutor, have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above, hold master proficiency in the subject they tutor, and have successfully completed the tutor application process and pre-service training. No prior tutoring experience is required. Every effort is made to secure free professional tutoring for students with disabilities who require specialized assistance and have documentation of the disability on file in the Office of Health and Special Student Services. Students who do not meet the eligibility requirements for the free peer or professional tutoring mentioned above are referred to C.O.D.'s Continuing Education Scholars Academy .
