Tutorial Courses

Courses taught as tutorials are individualized instruction in the content of a course listed in the College catalog. These courses, though taught independently, carry the subject, number, title, and credits of the actual course.

Tutorial courses are open only to students who have completed at least 12 credits at the College and earned at least a 2.50 GPA in the field in which the tutorial course resides.

To enroll in a tutorial course:

  • The student meets with the instructor who offers the requested course to discuss the possibility of a tutorial and the justification.
  • If the instructor approves, the student initiates the process by submitting the tutorial portion of the online Independent Study/Tutorial Authorization form.
  • If the request is approved by the dean, notification will be sent to the Registrar’s Office.
  • The Registrar’s Office will notify the student by email when the request has been processed and registration is completed.

Requests for tutorials will be processed in keeping with the relevant registration deadlines.
