TUTORING

SAS provides students with personal and/or small group tutoring sessions for all courses in the core curriculum. SAS will provide each student with academic difficulties up to one hour of tutoring per week in each core subject. The Professional Communications Center is available to assist students who are having trouble with written or oral communication skills.

To access tutoring assistance students should contact Rebekah Melville, Senior Associate Director of SAS and inform her of the subject for which they are seeking tutoring assistance. This request must be made in writing via email at the earliest opportunity in the semester the student determines a need for tutoring assistance. SAS will use best effort to accommodate requests that come near the end of the semester but cannot guaranty to locate tutoring assistance if the request is made in the last two weeks of the semester.

Once a request is made, the student will be given contact information for the tutor. The student will have one week from the date of receipt of the contact information to contact the tutor and set up a tutoring appointment.

If the student needs to cancel a tutoring appointment, the student will give the tutor 24 hours advance notice of a cancellation.

If the student initiates the process and requests an appointment with the tutor and either omits to contact the tutor within one week, omits to inform SAS that he or she no longer needs a tutor, does not adhere to the cancellation policy above or cancels two consecutive appointments with the tutor, the student will forfeit the right to participate in the tutoring program for the rest of the academic year. This is an unacceptable practice that will waste the time of the tutoring volunteers and may prevent other students interested with working with a tutor, an opportunity.
