ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE
Tutorial Services
Our tutoring services include scheduled (consecutive weekly
appointments of 1-4 students/session), open labs (walk-in),
study groups (3-5 students/session), and partnerships (tutor
accompanies tutees to class). These tutoring sessions are
available to the CU-Denver student population from 8am-7pm
Monday through Thursday and 8am-1pm on Friday. Stop by the
office in NC 2006 to complete a tutor request form for scheduled
tutoring and/or a study group, or pick up an open lab schedule
for subject availability. We are able to provide tutoring
in the most frequently requested subjects (i.e., accounting,
biology, chemistry, engineering, English, French, math, physics,
and Spanish), however limitations apply. These subjects vary
from term to term depending on the available tutoring staff.
