Faculty or peer tutoring is available for many of the courses taught at Cumberland University. Students needing assistance in any class should make an appointment with the appropriate faculty member and request assistance through or in conjunction with the Academic Enrichment Center (AEC). If the faculty member and student deem peer tutoring is advisable, the student needing assistance should report to the Vice President for Academic Affairs to complete a Tutor Request Form. The Office of Academic Affairs will review the request and, if deemed appropriate and a student tutor is available, will assign the requesting student to a peer tutor. There is no charge to the requesting student for this service. Peer tutoring availability is based on having qualified peer tutors in the requested subject area(s). Students wishing to be peer tutors should contact the Office of Academic Affairs or the Office of the Academic Enrichment Center (AEC) for specific information.
