Tutorial

A tutorial is the way in which a student may independently take a course which is listed in the course catalog and is part of the curriculum of the student’s major. In essence, a tutorial is an existing course that is taught to one student.  

• A course should be taught as a tutorial only in extenuating circumstances (e.g., a course is cancelled or is no longer offered, or a student has an unavoidable schedule conflict). 
• If a student needs to fulfill a major requirement through an independent course of study, it is preferred that departments/schools assist the student by providing a directed study meeting the objectives of the course missed rather than by arranging a tutorial.
• The faculty instructor, the department chair/assistant dean, and the college dean must approve a student’s request to register for a tutorial.
