Study Group Policies

• Students who sign up and consistently attend Study Groups will be given priority for individual tutoring in courses supported by Study Groups. For students who request individual tutoring but do not join study groups, individual tutoring is extremely limited.

• Wait List: Admission to study groups are on a first come first serve basis. The first fourteen to sign up for each study group will likely receive a slot. All request after the first fourteen will be placed on a wait list.

• Caveat- Study Groups are not a substitute for either lecture or discussion sections. Social Science study groups are not a drop-in format in that study group participants are asked to join the group and attend consistently throughout the course of the semester.
