Tutoring

The University interprets tutoring to mean giving instruction or assistance in University work to any student for direct or indirect payment outside of regularly scheduled class and laboratory periods. This does not refer to extra help sessions that instructors sometimes schedule for the benefit of students who wish to take advantage of such sessions. Counselors and heads of schools/colleges and departments are permitted to advise students delinquent in their work to obtain tutors. Heads also may suggest names of qualified persons for this service. The hours and fees for authorized tutoring are subject to the approval of the head of the school/college or department providing the instruction. A list of authorized tutors is available online in SSINFO.

No instructional staff member may tutor a student if the student is assigned to him or her for the course to which the tutoring applies, nor may instructional staff members prepare examination questions for a student or grade the examination paper of any student he or she has tutored for such an examination.
