CH2M STEM Tutoring Center

Fall 2020

Courses that the CH2M Tutoring Services supports may vary based on courses offered in a particular semester and tutor availability. If you do not see a subject or course you need assistance with, feel free to utilize the E-Tutoring Services.

Tutoring Sessions are held virtually. Select your tutor and schedule your Zoom tutor session. Don’t see a time that works for you? Request a tutor. This may not be guaranteed but we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Request a Tutor
If you do not see a time that accommodates your schedule, you can request a tutor during the fall and spring semesters. To request a tutor, complete the Request Form. We will do our best to accommodate your request, though it is not guaranteed. Either way, Academic Advising will email your WSU account within 2-3 business days of your request.

We will notify you by emailing your WSU email account whether we are able to assign a tutor to you. If we are able to assign you a tutor, we will include an attached Tutor Request Contract in the confirmation email. Please sign this contract and bring it with you to your tutor session and submit to your tutor. Without this signed contract we will be unable to facilitate your tutor session.

Tutor Sessions
Tutor sessions will be scheduled for a minimum of one half hour blocks, unless otherwise specified on the request form. It is up to you and your assigned tutor whether you utilize the entire time. If you need additional time beyond the scheduled time frame, you will need to submit another request form.

Sessions are required to be held on campus and during times the campus is open (7am to 10pm). Tutors will not meet with students for off campus.

Late Policy
Arrive on time. Your time and the tutor’s time are both equally valuable. Your appointment is scheduled for the specified time listed on the Tutor Request Contract. If you need additional time beyond the specified time above, please complete a new request form.

If you expect you will be late, please email the tutor prior to your appointment. You would have to agree to communicate with the assigned tutor in other ways other than email. Information was emailed to your WSU email.

No Show Policy
Two no-shows in one semester will result in you losing the privilege to be able to request a tutor for the remainder of the semester. You may still utilize the tutoring center during scheduled tutoring hours.

Cancellation Policy
If you are not able to attend your tutoring session, you are required to notify the Academic Advising Center 24 hours from your appointment. You can reach the Advising Center at tricities.advising@wsu.edu or call 509-372-7035.

Failing to notify the Academic Advising Center will result in losing the privilege to request tutors for the semester. You may still utilize the tutoring center during scheduled tutoring hours.

We are always looking for more tutors at the CH2M STEM Tutoring Center. If you are an undergraduate student and have tutoring experience, or you have math or science skills, then you should consider applying.

• Ability and willingness to work with students from diverse cultural, linguistic, and academic backgrounds
