We welcome referrals from faculty and staff. 

When you notice that a student has trouble succeeding in your class, or think they can benefit from additional academic support, you may refer them to work with a Tutor or an Academic Coach. When making referrals, please keep in mind:

1. Students need to be prepared so that they are not resistant to tutoring/coaching, scared of the process, or think it is punitive in nature. 
   • Explain to the student why you are making the referral
   • Give them specific points that you would like them to address with a tutor/coach
2. Be mindful of the extra time the student will be spending working on your class
   • Consider giving the student some sort of incentive to encourage the learning process (extension on an assignment, extra credit, an extra chance to revise a paper or retake a test)
   • We recommend that student be referred for no more than 3 sessions to prevent straining the student
3. Follow up with the student beyond seeing completion of the sessions
   • Ask the student whether the process has helped
   • Ask whether they believe they gained something valuable from the experience
