Organizational Tutoring (OT)
New students are assigned an OT who meets with them weekly to review syllabi, organize their time, keep track of assignments and grades, obtain tutoring assistance, help navigate the University’s Titan Web scheduling system and answer questions relating to campus life. These weekly meetings are connected to the Success 101 course.
