Spring 2025 tutoring dates: 1/27/25-5/6/25 

Note: Tutoring availability is subject to change. If you cannot find tutoring for a course listed below, please confirm availability with the tutoring coordinator.
 

Tutors are not substitutes for professors. Tutoring is not a substitute for attending class, taking notes, completing homework, studying and seeking help when necessary.  

You cannot make a tutoring appointment to learn material you missed due to a class absence. 

If you miss class, it’s your responsibility to review any missed material and attend your professor’s office hours to ask questions and seek clarification on the content. 

Tutors have the right to cancel an appointment if you have not reviewed missed material on your own and with your professor. 

Cancellation Policy: If you need to cancel an appointment, please do so as early as possible to allow others the opportunity to book that time. 

• After 3 cancellations, we will suspend your peer tutoring services, and we will request that you meet with a member of the Learning Commons Team to discuss the frequent unattended sessions and determine if you can continue utilizing this service for the remainder of the semester. 

No-Show Policy: The tutor will wait 15 minutes for your arrival. After that time, you are a no-show for the appointment. Appointments canceled with less than one hour's notice will count as no-show. 

• After 3 no-shows, we will suspend your peer tutoring services, and we will request that you meet with a member of the Learning Commons Team to discuss the frequent non-attendance and determine if you can continue utilizing this service for the remainder of the semester. 

Inclimate Weather: If the University closes or holds classes remotely due to inclement weather, all tutoring appointments will be canceled.

Tutors work under the assumption that the work you bring to a session is your own work. Tutors who suspect plagiarism will discuss citation rules with you and may report concerns, as needed. 

Tutors are not responsible for the work you submit. For more information on plagiarism, view UAlbany’s Academic Integrity Policy. 

If you need help with a course for which we don’t offer tutoring, or if you’re in danger of failing a course, you should use multiple strategies to remediate the situation: 

• Contact your professor.
• Attend all class sessions.
• Find a study partner.
• Meet with your Teaching Assistant (TA), if applicable.
• Meet with your Academic Advisor.
• Complete all course assignments.
• Study independently. 

Students are expected to adhere to University Tutoring’s policies and the University’s student code of conduct, Community Rights & Responsibilities. 

Students are also expected to behave in a professional and respectful manner.  

Students who do not meet these expectations may lose access to University Tutoring’s services.
