Tutorial Support

Many divisions offer study groups or instructional associate help for their own course offerings. Students may meet with the instructor during office hours to clarify their understanding of course material. In addition, students sometimes find that hiring a private tutor is most useful and provides maximum flexibility. Familiarize yourself with the various options and match what works best for the class and your needs.

Steps to receive instructional support

  1. Meet with your DSS Counselor or LD Specialist to discuss tutoring support options or request academic assistance. It is recommended that this be done during registration planning in order to reserve time in your schedule.
  2. Read and sign the Instructional Support Contract which describes the procedures.
  3. Follow the procedures specified for small group tutoring and drop-in lab tutoring.
