If a tutor is not available in a subject, every effort will be made to secure someone. Services are available whenever classes are in session. Students wanting to make an appointment to see a tutor may do so in person or by phone. Appointments should be scheduled well in advance, to allow tutors time to prepare. The tutoring session usually lasts 50 minutes.
Students seek tutoring on a voluntary basis.
Although tutoring is not usually required, faculty often strongly encourage the use of the services. Students who use tutoring have higher success, retention, and re-enrollment rates than those who do not. Copies of this can be obtained from the Kresge Center. Any student enrolled in a MNU credit course and attending class regularly is eligible for free tutoring. The tutoring relationship is intended to be a temporary one in which the tutor guides the student towards independent learning.
