  • What are the requirements for ASC Tutor applicants?

    Applicants must have the following:

    • Effective social and time management skills
    • A desire to learn and help others learn
    • An A or B in the course you would like to support. Course grade is just one of many factors that are considered.
    • A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher is recommended, but applicants not meeting this criteria can still apply and discuss their specific situation if invited for an interview.
    • A schedule that allows you to work at least 4 hours per week and enroll in a 1 credit training course during your first semester of employment.
    • A recommendation form completed by a course instructor, advisor, or other professional at Clemson who can speak to your content knowledge in at least one of the subjects you want to support.
    • Effective learning and study approaches to share with others
  • How do I apply?

    To apply, complete the ASC Tutor application form linked in the purple icon on this page. The application also asks you to request a recommendation form be completed by a course instructor, advisor, or other professional at Clemson who can speak to your content knowledge in at least one of the subjects you want to support. The recommendation form can be found under the purple icon on this page.

  • What to expect if I’m hired?

    If you are selected for an ASC Tutor position, you will be contacted by the program coordinator with additional information. You will receive an email about:

    • Employment paperwork - You will need to complete hiring paperwork before you can begin work. The paperwork requires two approved forms of ID, we recommend a drivers license and social security card.
    • The specific sections of CU1110 that are available for ASC peer leaders.
    • Training dates and times - Training is traditionally scheduled on Monday and/or Tuesday before classes begin. Specific dates, times, and locations will be communicated by the program coordinator.
    • Collecting your availability to determine your semester work schedule.
  • Can I apply for both PAL and ASC Tutoring?

    We encourage applicants to consider both Tutoring and PAL and determine which role best suits their interests and schedules. Each program currently has a separate application process, but you can also ask the person you interview with about the other program as you determine your interest. However, we generally do not allow new leaders to work as a tutor and a PAL leader during their first semester.
