The Undergraduate Tutorial Center (UTC) is charged with contributing to students' academic success. The fulfillment of this charge incorporates several areas of emphasis:

• providing a variety of tutorial services--grounded in sound educational theory and practice--that promote undergraduate students' academic achievement;
• hiring qualified students to work as peer tutors and training them to apply effective research-supported tutoring methods,
• continually assessing current tutorial formats, resources and services,
• developing partnerships with department-based instruction, tutorial service, and other student support providers, primarily through exploring and developing effective tutoring and communications strategies and then sharing those tools and interventions with the campus and tutorial communities.

The UTC is certified by the College, Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) at all three levels.
