Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for Learning Center services?

Any student currently enrolled at Penn State Harrisburg in the course for which he/she wishes to be tutored.

What if I am a World Campus Student?

These requests are decided on a case-by-case basis, since there are details that need to be clarified by the World Campus instuctor. Usually we can tutor you, but the World Campus instructor needs to be informed and give us guidelines.

What is the cost of the tutoring?

No cost for eligible students. The service is supported by tuition dollars.

Is there a limit on the number of hours a student can be tutored?

During the fall and spring semesters, students are limited to two hours per week of scheduled tutoring with a peer tutor. If a professional tutor is available, students may drop in for tutoring in addition to the two hours per week of scheduled time.

During the summer session, there is no weekly limit for scheduled or drop-in tutoring.

In special circumstances, a student can request additional tutoring sessions from Ms. Smith.

Will the professor know that a student used the services of the Learning Center?
