3 Ways to Utilize Tutoring! Study groups, appointments, and drop-in tutoring become vital as we hit midterms. Make use of the three ways to get tutoring help in the TLC! If you are in a study group, try to make each session through week ten. Remember, you need to sign up on the board for drop-in help and sign up in the book for appointments.

Tutor Evaluations Are Due. Each tutor must have ten evaluations from ten different students. You may complete two evaluations for one tutor if the tutor helped you with different subjects. Evaluations are a requirement of all tutors at Lane but also help TRiO tutors to know how they can better serve you. Evaluate tutors with whom you have had an appointment or a study group or even a long or several drop-in sessions.

Trio Is Open For Enrollment To New Students For Fall 2016. Please let your friends and class mates know about open enrollment. For you current TRiO students, we will ask you to complete a form that tells us your plans for next year. If you are going to be at Lane you will continue to be a TRiO student and will just need to do a check-in appointment before fall term begins.
