Mandatory tutoring is a con nuous requirement
for Gateway students each month throughout
the school year. So plan ahead to get your
tutoring completed early each month so you
aren’t stressed about it later.
Remember, you can use any of our tutoring labs
(Learning Lab, Wri ng Lab, Math Lab, and ASC).
You are not required to actually work with a
tutor in order to get in your minutes but they are
available to help you in case you need them.
