The Tutoring Office staff attempts to fulfill all such requests, but sometimes (especially for advanced courses and electives) may not be able to find a tutor. Fulfillment of a request usually occurs within one work week of the initial request.<\/p>\n<p>The Tutoring Office staff will ask students requesting tutors if they visit professors\u2019 office hours and other academic resources including regularly-scheduled help sessions. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Priority in assigning tutors goes to students who use these resources but who need additional help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">All notifications to students and tutors about tutoring assignments are by email.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Maintaining Eligibility<\/h3>\n<p>Students remain eligible for peer tutoring by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>arriving on time to tutoring appointments<\/li>\n<li>working on the subject matter between tutoring appointments<\/li>\n<li>preparing for tutoring appointments<\/li>\n<li>completing periodic tutor evaluations when requested by the Tutoring Office<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Students needing to cancel a tutoring appointment should attempt to do so at least a day ahead.<\/p>\n<h3>Hours<\/h3>\n<p>Maine Maritime Academy will generally provide a student with a maximum of two hours of peer tutoring per week in each subject area tutored, subject to budgetary considerations.
