The UW-Platteville Distance Learning Center and the UW-Platteville Office of Student Support Services are discussing the possibility of offering tutoring services to undergraduate distance learning students who are taking print-based or online courses.  As we continue our discussions, it would be helpful to have your input in terms of what your tutoring needs might be.

It is possible that we will offer some form of pilot tutoring program as early as this fall.  The pilot program would most likely have some restrictions in terms of the course(s) for which tutoring will be offered and who is eligible to participate.  However, in order to receive maximum input regarding your tutoring needs, we ask that all students complete and return the survey.  More specific information will be supplied at a later time.  Thank you.
