Content tutors are here to help
The Academic Success Center (ASC) provides tutors for many lower-level courses throughout the curriculum. Tutors work one-on-one or with small groups depending on the subject to help students understand course content, complete assignments and prepare for tests and exams. Most tutors are experienced students who successfully completed the course with a 3.0 or higher, meaning they bring knowledge about the subject and the YCP course to their sessions with students.
Tutors for many introductory science, business, and humanities classes are available on a drop-in basis — no appointment is required. You can view the tutor schedule for the current semester by visiting the Drop-In Tutor schedule. Tutors for math, nursing, and psychology are available by making an appointment through Spartan Success Network.
The ASC also provides exam review sessions for select math classes connected with a math mentor and supplemental instruction sessions for select introductory biology and chemistry courses. See the ASC News page for upcoming sessions and workshops being hosted at the ASC.

While most tutoring occurs in the Academic Success Center Room 01 on the lower level of the Humanities Center, some tutors are available in alternate locations based on particular disciplines. For example, nursing tutoring often takes place in Diehl Hall, and Engineering and Computer Science tutoring often takes place in the Kinsley Engineering Center.
Some tutors are also available to meet via Zoom. See the location listed next to your tutor on the tutor schedule for their specific locations.
Most tutoring is drop-in, so you just need to come to the Academic Success Center or alternative tutoring location during a tutor’s stated hours. Check the Drop-In Tutor Schedule for announcements of any changes to tutors’ availability. Math, nursing, and psychology tutoring require an appointment. Visit Spartan Success Network to make an appointment.
Bring any materials related to the class and/or specific assignment you are working on, including textbooks, notes, and materials provided by the professor.
