  • * When you click on tutoring, you can choose form two options.
    • Drop-in Tutoring: Meet with a Success Center tutor and/or faculty for a 15-minute session. This is great if you have a quick question or found some extra time for tutoring. The Fall Tutoring schedule is Monday-Thursday 9 am - 9 pm; Friday 10 am - 2 pm; Saturday 10 am - 3 pm. 
    • Appointment Tutoring: Make an appointment for a 25-minute tutoring meeting with a Success Center tutor. You can request a specific tutor, or one will be assigned to you. Schedule appointments at least 24 hours in advance.

DIRECTED LEARNING ACTIVITIES - DLAS

DLA’s are focused activities that assist students in learning a particular skill or idea. For instance, there is a DLA about writing an introduction to an essay. In math, there are DLA’s that assist with answering word problems as well. There are many DLA’s on several topics that range from writing, grammar, math, and study skills.

  • Your Success Mentor will asses if any of the DLA's we have are beneficial to you and will assign them to you accordingly. 
  • After your Success Mentor assigns you a DLA, you are responsible to complete the DLA at your earliest convenience. 
  • Once you have completed the DLA, you will meet with a Success Center tutor (via drop-in tutoring or a scheduled appointment with a tutor), and the tutor will go over the DLA with you.
    • *After you meet with a tutor, you are finished with your DLA. The system will alert us of your meeting and you will receive credit for that DLA activity.
