Before applying for the program, students are expected to talk to their professor and attend any available first-level academic support services, such as professor office hours, help sessions, PAL sessions (Peer-Assisted Learning Sessions), and drop-in tutoring available at the learning centers. Spots in the program may be limited based on the demand and availability of peer tutors. Students must be currently enrolled in the undergraduate course for which they seek assistance.
