COURSE SPECIFIC ASSISTANCE


UNH undergraduates who are eligible for Student Support Services may qualify for free tutoring in specific courses. Tutoring may be provided for up to two hours per week per approved course. The first step typically is to schedule an intake appointment with CFAR staff. Please call the Center for Academic Resources at (603) 862-3698 or stop by Wolff House (located in front of UNH Health Services) to schedule the intake appointment. Please note that the deadline for requesting a tutor for the Fall 2009 semester is FRIDAY, October 23rd and the deadline for requesting a tutor for the Spring 2010 is FRIDAY, March 26th. No tutoring is provided during January Term 2010.


Eligibility for Student Support Services is based upon guidelines from the US Department of Education. Approximately one-fifth of UNH undergraduate students are eligible for these services. Please refer to the criteria for eligibility.
