STUDY TABLE
Department policy requires all new students and continuing students with a cumulative grade point average below a 2.5 to attend at least six (6) hours of study table each week. Individual coaches may require a greater amount of time spent in this structured study setting. Students may complete their study table obligation at any time between 8:00 AM–8:00 PM, Monday through Thursday and 8:00AM–8:00 PM on Friday and Sunday evenings from 5:00-8:00 PM. You will need your BGSU ID card to check-in at study table. Students may choose to study in a classroom setting, a quiet reading room, or a computer lab. Computers in the lab are strictly for academic use. Using websites such as Facebook, twitter, or YouTube is not permitted and will result in loss of study table privileges for the remainder of the day. Student-athletes will be required to sign, and abide by, a study table behavioral expectations contract at the beginning of the academic year.
LEARNING COMMONS TUTORIAL PROGRAM
The Learning Commons – which includes Math & Statistics Tutoring, Study Skills, Writing, and a Tutorial Center for any subject area – is a great resource for students.
The William T. Jerome Library is the new home of the Learning Commons, making the one-stop shop for tutoring assistance more accessible and more central to campus. The Learning Commons includes:
• 13,565 square feet of study space
• 38 desktop computers
• 22 laptop computers for student use within our space

Subject Area Tutors: Subject area tutors hold regular hours in the Learning Commons throughout the semester and are FREE to all BGSU students. If you need help with math, tutors are available on a drop-in basis all hours that The Learning commons is open, and we encourage you to use this service. There is also Drop-in Tutoring available for many other subject areas or you may schedule an appointment for a Study Group or Individual Tutoring. Our tutoring services are designed to augment your class attendance and participation. You are required to attend your classes and participate fully in order to get the most out of your work with a tutor through
the Learning Commons.
Math & Statistics: The goal of The Learning Commons Math & Statistics Tutoring is to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in their math and statistics classes. Tutors offer their expertise in math or statistics, which applies to a wide variety of courses. The center is an ideal environment for students to spend time outside of the classroom mastering the content of a math or statistics class. Routine usage is encouraged!
Tutoring is offered on a drop-in basis for the majority of courses that are 2000-level and below. The courses we offer drop-in tutoring for are listed below. If you course isn’t listed, feel free to stop in; we may have a tutor that can help you, or we can set you up with an appointment to meet with a tutor that can assist you.
Writers Helping Writers: Take advantage of the in-person and online writing support offered by the Learning Commons. From your first day on campus through graduation, experienced and informed Writing Consultants are happy to talk with you about any writing-related concerns you may have.
All you have to do is call to schedule an appointment with a writing consultant, schedule an appointment via your MyBGSU account, or submit a draft online. Visit us early and often—at any stage in your writing process.
There are several ways to schedule an appointment. Request an appointment with a current tutor and/or a subject that is NOT currently listed, request a tutor. Meet with a Learning Commons staff member to discuss our services if you have been referred to our office or you would like a one-on-one consultation. If you are having difficulty with the links above please call the Learning Commons at 419-372-2823, e-mail us at tlc@bgsu.edu or stop by the Check-in Desk at The Learning Commons on the first floor of the Jerome Library!

STUDENT-ATHLETE TUTORIAL SERVICES
Tutor assistance is available to student-athletes in Student-Athlete Services for students who needs special assistance as approved by their team academic coordinator.
Requests can be via an online form or via paper in the office of Student-Athlete Services in 206 University Hall. The individual seeking assistance must make all requests. You will be notified via email about the status of your tutor request in a timely fashion. If a tutor is not available in your subject area or times are conflicting between you and the tutor, then another resource on campus will be recommended to you. Tutorial support is meant to be a preventative resource to aid student-athletes in maintaining good academic progress. It should not be used as a last resort resource to salvage a failing grade.
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO MAKE A REQUEST!
Tutoring appointments will be held in the Office of Student-Athlete Services during study tables. Tutors are not permitted to tutor student-athletes in any other place on or off campus without permission from the Tutor Coordinator.
Appointments can be scheduled either during the weekday or Sunday evening hours. Tutorial appointments are scheduled for 1 hour. The Tutor Coordinator must approve additional time. Tutorial contracts are for weekly appointment for the entire semester, not on an “as-needed” basis.
Please arrive on time for your appointment. If you know you are going to be late, or if you are unable to attend and you were not able to reach your tutor, please contact your tutor and the tutor coordinator. Cancellations must be made at least 12 hours in advance of your scheduled tutorial session.
If you do not show up for a tutorial appointment and fail to notify your tutor and the Office of Student-Athlete Services, the Tutorial Coordinator will determine your tutorial assignments and the conditions of your appointments for the remainder of the semester.
Your tutor privileges will be revoked if you are repeatedly late for scheduled appointments, miss an abundant number of classes, or participate in other counterproductive behaviors, such as coming unprepared to tutor sessions.
Please notify the Office of Student-Athlete Services immediately if your tutor fails to show up for an appointment or continually cancels appointments with you. If you wait too long, your grade in the course may suffer. Our tutors are students, and have their own academic responsibilities and commitments, but they have also made a commitment to the Office of Student-Athlete Services and you.
Don’t rely just on your tutor. You should also take full advantage of your professor’s office hours and campus resources. The Learning Commons, which includes: Writing Center, Math & Stats Tutoring Center, and Study Skills Center are valuable tools available to assist you. Ultimately, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for your academic success!
