Faculty Information
We look forward to providing assistance to your students to help them achieve success in your courses!
The University-wide Tutorial Program offers a variety of different tutoring formats to provide academic support for your students. Faculty recommendations are the primary source of tutors in the University-wide Tutorial Program.

- Peer Tutor - For Classes with Under 60 Students Enrolled

Peer Tutors are for courses that have under 60 students enrolled and for 100-200 level general education courses. Peer Tutors offer weekly walk-in tutoring hours and individualized tutoring, as needed.
- Large Classroom Tutors (LCT's) - For Classes with Over 60 Students Enrolled
-
LCTs are for courses that have over 60 students enrolled and for 100-200 level general education courses. LCTs offer weekly walk-in tutoring hours and individualized tutoring, as needed.
LCTs assist during class by taking attendance, distributing and collecting materials, and assisting with other in-class tasks deemed necessary. LCTs can also work for up to three hours outside of the class to assist in arranging for technology services; scanning, copying, and collating materials; updating bulletin boards; and other out-of-class tasks deemed necessary. LCTs may not perform any functions required of the instructor of record, e.g., they are not to grade any course assignments.
The Large Classroom Tutors are hired and trained by the UWTP.
