I've had several students tell me they're switching their major because of how well I tutored them and they actually started to enjoy their subject even more.

Your Role in the Tutoring Program

If you have any questions about the UNCP Tutoring Program guidelines, please contact the Center for Student Success at 910.521.6625.

If you are using UNCP’s tutoring services and have a weekly tutoring appointment, you’re expected to attend regularly.

You could be removed from the tutoring schedule for the remainder of the semester if:

  • You have two unexcused absences
  • There is a pattern of cancellations
  • There is an unwillingness to engage in the learning process

If removed, you must meet with the tutoring program coordinator to request re-entry into the schedule.


Excused Absences:

  • Notify your tutor and the tutoring program coordinator at least 24 hours in advance if you need to miss an appointment.
  • If less than 24 hours' notice, provide a valid reason for the cancellation.

By participating in the Tutoring Program, you agree to the following:

  • Tutoring sessions are not a substitute for class. You must attend class regularly.
  • Be prepared for each session by completing assignments (readings, homework, etc.) in advance and bringing your materials (textbooks, notes, questions).
  • Tutors will not do your work for you. They can explain concepts, help with assignments and assist with test preparation, but they do not re-teach course material.
  • If you no longer need tutoring, please inform the Center for Student Success so others can use the time.
