You will be assigned a tutor as soon
as possible after submitting a Tutor Request Form. If you do not
receive a call or an email within one week of submitting your
request, please check with the Learning Center office.
ELIGIBILITY FOR
TUTORING
You must currently be registered at
Roberts Wesleyan College and enrolled in the course for which you
are requesting a tutor. You must also complete a Tutor Request
Form.
NO-SHOW
POLICY
If you cannot keep an appointment, you
must call or email your tutor well before your scheduled session.
If you miss two appointments without notifying your tutor,
you will not be eligible for tutoring for the remainder of the
semester.
LIMIT ON
HOURS
You may work with a tutor for a
maximum of two one-hour sessions each week, unless the tutor
coordinator approves addition sessions. If a study group is
currently arranged for the course you are requesting a tutor in, we
will require that you consistently attend the study group first
(except for unique circumstances), before we assign an individual
tutor.
