Welcome FYE Students!
FYE students are required to complete 10 tutoring visits (total) at the Writing Center and/or math Pi Shop.
How to Complete FYE Tutoring Hours at the Writing Center
FYE students can fulfill your tutoring requirement at the Writing Center with any of the following activities:
- Visit a tutor for an individual tutoring session
- Drop off a paper for feedback from a tutor
- Attending a faculty-led workshop
- Attend an SI Group Session for your English 101 or E.S.L. 110 class
- Complete Achieve online grammar and writing program activities
Tracking FYE Tutoring Hours
There are couple different ways to track your FYE hours at the Writing Center, depending on which services you use:
- After each tutoring session (appointment or drop-in), you will receive an email "receipt" of your attendance and summary of your work with your tutor. Please keep this email as a record of your attendance. You will not receive an email receipt for workshops or SI group sessions, but record of your attendance will be logged in our system.
- Any Achieve activities you complete can be viewed in your Achieve gradebook and will be added to the record of your Writing Center visits.
- Attendance reports for FYE students are provided to the FYE counselors and English 101 instructors periodically throughout the semester.
- The final day to complete hours for FYE credit is the last regular Friday of instruction (the Friday before finals week).
When To Visit the Writing Center
Make sure to schedule your Writing Center tutoring visits for your FYE requirement throughout the semester. Try to visit a tutor approximately once per week throughout the semester (or more if needed). Visiting the Writing Center throughout the semester maximizes the value of your tutoring sessions. If you attempt to schedule unnecessary appointments at the end of the semester simply to fulfill the FYE requirement, the Writing Center may cancel your appointments to provide availability for students who need writing help.
