For that kind of assistance, students see tutors. The university offers free tutoring in many subjects, usually on campus. Here's how it works in one of the colleges. Advanced students have academic advisers in departments within the institute, such as physics or mathematics. The institute offers free tutoring to students in specific subjects, Sorenson said.
Tutors are part time and paid hourly by the university.
Sorenson said the waiting list to see a tutor varies. Student athletes, regardless of subject, department or program, have a free, one-stop shop in the academic counseling unit at the Bierman Field Athletic Building. Counselors help student athletes plan their college careers and which courses to take and when, based on academic needs and the sports season. Learning specialists help student athletes tackle college subjects in a broad way. For example, they talk to students about how to approach term papers and conduct research.
