Information and Policies - The goal of subject specific tutoring and Instructional Assistant (IA) sessions is to help Cedar Crest students achieve academic success by becoming effective, independent learners. 

Peer Tutors (subject specific) work with students on an appointment or walk-in basis (if free). In person tutoring takes place in the Student Success Center (specifically the back right of Cressman Library). Schedules are published on this page and are subject to change. Please review the Peer Tutoring Policies before making an appointment and attending peer tutoring sessions. Peer Tutoring Policies.docx

Instructional Assistants are students who have demonstrated a high level of academic achievement and have strong time management, organizational, study, interpersonal, and communication skills. IAs, typically hold weekly group tutoring sessions to review course content and they may also provide lab instruction or recitations. Please review the Instructional Assistant policies before attending IA sessions. Instructional Assistant Policies.pdf
