Request Tutoring

Purpose

You have the ability to sign up for small group tutoring for any class you are enrolled in through the tutoring portal. These small groups meet weekly at a specific time. Once you register, you are expected to attend each weekly session. The tutoring portal also includes information for drop-in (no registration required) tutoring availability.
