Academic tutoring is open to all students taking the course. The academic tutor will host individual or small group (1 to 5 students) academic tutoring sessions for OMSI students for the course they are leading. The academic tutors will also host drop-in academic tutoring sessions (similar to open office hours) once a week for two hours in a classroom or learning lab on campus. Academic Tutors spend time preparing for their sessions, so all efforts should be made to attend your reserved session.
