Welcome to TAN![]()
ORAS coordinates and maintains a campus wide peer tutorial program. Tutors are available in most academic courses and offered at no additional cost to the student. Individual and small group tutorial sessions are provided for those students who are interested in regular, weekly tutorial assistance. Walk-in tutoring is available in some courses for students who only require occasional help. Tutors are assigned to students who complete a Tutorial Request (Tutee Application) in Suite 100 C. Applicants may also fax their tutorial request, via the department fax, to the TAN office. Tutors are required to attend training throughout each semester to obtain and enhance their tutorial skills.
