Tutoring

The Center for Academic Success will offer services in-person for the semester, with some remote offerings as well. You can view our schedule on Jasper Connect.  

Tutoring at the CAS

Tutoring is designed to support students with their courses by providing them with content-specific assistance. We offer one-on-one peer tutoring in most 100-200 level courses and select 300+ level courses across disciplines. Our tutors receive ongoing training according to the College Reading and Learning Association standards in order to achieve certification. By certifying our tutors, we ensure that all peer tutors are kept current regarding tutoring best practices.

In-Person Tutoring

Appointments are preferred but walk-ins are welcome when available. Students should look in their Courses channel in Jasper Connect to find tutors for their courses and to schedule appointments. For guidance on how to use the system, view the quick video below.

Online Tutoring

Select tutors will offer online tutoring services. Students can schedule to meet virtually with these tutors anywhere they have an Internet connection. Students who want to make an online appointment need a laptop or tablet with a microphone and camera. Follow the same steps to make an appointment (please see the video above), but when scheduling an online appointment make sure to select 'Online via GoBoard' as the appointment's location (please refer to video below on how to access your online appoinment). All online sessions are by appointment only.
