Student Support Services

Drop-in Tutoring - An open lab space where a tutor is available to work with students on specific homework questions, general questions, or study skills assistance

It is a free service to SSS-Classic & SSS-STEM students as part of their participation in the program. (See tutoring hours below).*Note, each semester Drop-in Tutoring hours will change. All students are asked to start with Drop-in Tutoring before they request individual tutoring from their advisor. Drop-in tutoring can be used in combination with Group Tutoring and Individual Tutoring.
Drop-in tutoring schedule

Group Tutoring - Similar to Drop-in Tutoring except it is only for a specific group of students

For instance, if a student is in a class with other SSS-Classic & SSS-STEM participants group tutoring would be a good option. Group Tutoring takes place in the SSS-Classic and SSS-STEM tutoring labs and can be scheduled outside of the Drop-in Tutoring hours.

*Some classes may have scheduled Group Tutoring assignments; these group tutoring sessions are a mandatory component of the SSS-Classic and SSS-STEM programs. For questions about this service, please see your academic advisor.

Individual Tutoring - Tutoring with only the student and the tutor

Students can receive up to two hours of individual tutoring a week for three week, or if the student has a documented disability, up to three hours a week--in three week segments. At the end of three weeks the student and tutor will reexamine the student's academic need. If the student still has a strong need for Individual Tutoring, his/her tutor will request an additional three week contract. Individual Tutoring must be recommended and approved by your SSS-Classic or SSS-STEM academic advisor and the tutoring coordinator. After a tutor is assigned to the student, the student and tutor will work to develop a relationship through regular, honest communication. A student can terminate an Individual Tutoring
