The Center for Academic Success offers tutoring in select first-year and sophomore-level courses free of charge to students. Tutoring begins the third week of class during the fall and spring semesters and continues through the last week of class. We encourage students to come in for tutoring early and to use it often for best results. Our tutors are upper class peers who have excelled in the course and received faculty recommendations.
