While tutors may tutor in several different subjects, they are assigned to a specific faculty member as a contact for the Center. These contacts center around course content. Tutors are available to meet the needs of the faculty member, such as review sessions before a test. Tutors are interviewed and hired at the end of each semester to begin working the following semester. To be considered for a tutoring position, a student must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have two faculty recommendations.
Tutors meet for ongoing training throughout the semester.
The computer writing lab is staffed by four writing lab assistants who are trained to help students on the computers, but are also able to work with students to improve their writing. They are able to assist students at any stage of the writing process. These students are hired and trained in the same way as Peer Tutors. The PASS Program Students who fail to meet the minimum established admission requirements may have to enter a program that is designed to be developmental. The goal is to intentionally do whatever possible, within the limits of our resources, to restore those who have experienced academic difficulty so they can experience success as a whole person.
