CAS tutors are available to support students' work in most courses offered at LU.

The best ways for students to get connected with a tutor during the academic year are as follows:

Drop-In Writing Tutoring
Hours: Sun-Thurs: 1-11pm & Fri-Sat: 1-5pm
Location: 2nd floor of the library (in the CAS)

Drop-in Math Tutoring
Check course syllabi & Canvas for information

Other Types of Tutoring

1. Students should contact a tutor directly whenever possible. To locate a tutor, students should check course syllabi, Canvas, and/or ask their instructors who the tutors are for a particular course.
2. If a student wants to work with the same tutor throughout the term, they can simply make arrangements with the tutor about how meet in an ongoing manner.
3. To request a tutor more generally (for any subject/assignment in which a tutor has not already been identified), a student can use the tutor request form in Voyager (a direct link is also available on the CAS website and in Voyager under the Center for Academic Success tab—>Tutor Request form). CAS staff monitor requests in Voyager and assign them to tutors throughout the day.
4. If a student experiences difficulty in connecting with a tutor, they should contact Julie or Kelsey directly.

Students should be aware of any requirements for or restrictions on tutoring made by individual course instructors (e.g., you must meet with a tutor before submitting a certain assignment or you cannot work with a tutor on certain assignments). The LU Honor Code will, as always, be in place whenever a student works with a tutor.

Julie Haurykiewicz and Kelsey Uherka are available to answer questions or provide support to both instructors and students regarding tutoring.
