Please note:
• Response time may take up to 48 hours. Please plan your time accordingly and do not resubmit your request.
• Plan your questions. The online tutors do not "correct" papers or "complete" homework problems. Try to be specific with your questions.
• If you have a take-home test, exam, or quiz, please obtain permission from your instructor before you submit your questions to us. We will be checking with faculty members.
• Tutoring is designed to answer questions and discuss major issues linked to your coursework. Your questions, essentially, help us help you.
• This is a pilot program. We will be modifying and adjusting along the way.
If you have any concerns or feedback, please e-mail Crystal Bickford, Director of Academic Services at Nichols College at Crystal.Bickford[at]nichols.edu.
