Tutoring Resources
Course Support
Connect with a community of students who care about their academic success by taking advantage of free Course Support. Let our peer leaders offer tips and tricks, review concepts and practice problems, and help you improve your study skills. We offer several formats for support sponsored by various providers.
Tutoring Sessions
The College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences (CECAS) has chosen students who have performed well in the courses they tutor. In addition to class work concepts, they can provide techniques to study and retain course information.
PEER/WISE
Programs for Educational Enrichment and Retention (PEER) and Women in Science in Engineering (WISE) offer small group tutoring in Math, Science, Computer Science, and upper-level Engineering courses by peers who have successfully completed the course and have been recommended by a faculty member. Group size varies based on demand. Support is available to all students in the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences.
RISE
Residents in Science & Engineering (RISE) offers small group peer tutoring in introductory science, math, and engineering courses for those enrolled in the RISE program. Students can attend an in-person or virtual session depending on their preference and availability. In-person tutoring will be in the Lever classroom. For virtual tutoring, students in RISE will receive a link in the RISE Roundup (weekly newsletter).
Undergraduate Teaching Assistants (UTA)
Undergraduate Teaching Assistants (UTAs) provide both in-class and out-of-classroom support to current General Engineering students. Because UTAs are in the classroom, they are better able to assist students regarding concepts and techniques taught in the courses. Support is available to any student enrolled in a general engineering course. Additional information can be found from your instructors.
The CECAS Academic Tutoring Support is a certified Level 1 tutoring program under the College Reading and Learning Association's (CRLA) International Tutor Training Certificate Program (ITTCP). CRLA is the professional body for University and College tutorial programs. Visit the CRLA website for additional information on the organization.
Interested in Study Sessions?
The Academic Success Center offers student-led collaborative study sessions facilitated by Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) leaders who have already successfully completed the course. These sessions allow students to connect with a supportive community of peers, develop valuable study habits, and engage in difficult content alongside their classmates. PAL Leaders are embedded in the course and continually support students at every stage throughout the semester.

Our staff will provide support along the way. We have proven tips and tricks on running a successful tutoring session, including a coordinator who will check in regularly to answer any questions. In addition, you will have a network of returning tutors who can assist you in navigating discussions and study groups.
