Request A Tutor

The Tutor Request Process

After receiving your request, we will assign a tutor as quickly as we can. If no tutor is available, we will make every effort to locate a tutor for you up to the semester deadline. The Writing and Math Centers are available for writing and math tutoring.

I understand there could be a wait before I am assigned a tutor.*

I understand tutoring for my course may be drop-in tutoring.*

University Tutoring Use Policy

To be fair to ALL students who want to obtain CAT Program tutoring, the following policies will be applied:

Policy 1*

A maximum of 3 hours per week of tutoring is provided free of charge to ISU students. As resources are limited, you will be assigned to a small group. Tutoring is not available over Thanksgiving and spring breaks and ends at 5 pm on the Friday before finals week.

Policy 2*

It is your responsibility to show up for scheduled tutoring sessions. Tutors will not wait longer than 15 minutes beyond the scheduled starting time.

Policy 3*

Students who do not show for a scheduled appointment will be given a verbal warning by the tutor. Students who miss a second appointment without notifying their tutors within the agreed-upon time period are no longer eligible for tutoring for that course for the semester.

Policy 4*

Tutors are available to help you with problems with course content. They are not substitutes for lecture and they will not do the work for you. You must be prepared for your tutoring sessions, just as you should be prepared for class. This means reading your textbook, studying notes, and working through assignments and problems prior to meeting with your tutor. It would be helpful to have specific questions ready when you arrive at the tutoring session. Improvement should occur through a cooperative effort between you and your tutor.

Policy 5*

The CAT Program collects information such as the following about students and their academic needs: student name and number; course in which student was tutored; and number and length of appointments. This information is treated as confidential by the CAT Program and university staff and is used only in aggregate form to provide accurate counts and demographics in reports to evaluate CAT services and provide a basis for funding. Student names and numbers NEVER appear in such reports.

Policy 6*

I understand that tutoring may be in a virtual setting (ex. Zoom) regardless of the campus location of the course I am taking.

I have read and understand the program policies described above:
