Types of Assistance Available
Toggle More Info
The FGCU Academic Policy prohibits tutors from assisting students in the completion of homework or any graded material.
- Complete your homework/assignments in advance of the tutoring session and bring your questions
- Do not use tutoring time to complete your homework
- Do not ask tutors to assist you with completing graded work/homework
Tutors can review concepts, formulas and processes on similar problems/situations to assist you in understanding. You can then complete or correct your errors after you leave the session.

The purpose and goal of the CAA tutoring program is to assist students in becoming more independent learners through higher-order thinking processes.
