Steps to Get Involved (SPRING 2026):

We will discuss your interests and concerns during this interview and share our volunteering options. We will also discuss specific tutoring times, considering your availability, our schedule, and the student's needs.Participation in the interview meeting does not guarantee acceptance into the volunteer program. The Basic & Transitional Studies Tutoring Program reserves the right to determine whether onboarding will proceed.
3. Complete the Paperwork & a Background Check.
4. Attend Orientation. Attend an online drop-in orientation session via Zoom. Our tutoring specialist will share the orientation dates during the interview or in the follow-up email after your first meeting!

The new Quarter will start on Monday, April 6. The first session will most likely start after April 12th.
