University College Tutoring Program Student Expectations 

The University College Tutoring Center provides a valuable service to the student population of Marshall University, and we are pleased to offer it.  We provide a safe, comfortable environment for students. 

When you participate in a tutoring session, there are a few things we expect from you as a student in order to get the most out of your tutoring session(s):

• Please attempt to solve the problem(s) yourself first.  Before you come to a tutoring session, please read your assignment.  Then, if you are still having difficulty, when you work with a tutor explain your attempt to solve the problem. That way we can try to track your steps.
   
• Be specific about your assignment so your tutor can understand what problem(s) you are having.  Be specific in the questions you ask.
   
• Please be cooperative with the tutor.  Tutors are available to help you, but they may not always have all the answers.
   
• Please be patient.  It could take time to give you an answer to your problem (depending on the complexity of the problem).
   
• Please do not wait until the last minute to request help in your subject.
   
• Please be courteous to your tutor and to the other students who might be working in the tutoring area.  Unruly conduct will not be tolerated.
   

Have a prosperous, and successful, tutoring session!  If you have any difficulties during your tutoring session, please let us know immediately.
