CLAS Summer 2020 FAQs
Can I work with an academic coach over the summer?
If you would like an academic coach, please email us and you will be assigned a coach. Your coach will be available via zoom or phone, and will email you to determine what will work best for you.
How do I attend a CLAS study group or English language workshop online?
The CLAS does not offer summer study groups; however, we are offering summer English language workshops. You can join an English language workshop online via Zoom.
You can find the meeting times and zoom links by going to the Online CLAS Services Information page.Is the CLAS still offering tutoring services?
Yes! All tutoring services will now be offered online via Zoom. Call us at 617-573-8034 or click the “Get Assistance” button on the homepage of your Navigate account to schedule an appointment. At some point before your scheduled appointment, your tutor will send you an email with a link to your Zoom meeting and instructions on how to connect.
Is CLAS online tutoring the same as in-person tutoring?
While nothing can replace the experience of an in-person meeting with your tutor, CLAS online tutoring closely approximates the in-person experience. With application and document sharing, mark-up capabilities, and a virtual white board, CLAS online tutoring with Zoom allows you to do just about anything that you would do in an in-person tutoring session.
Can I meet with the same tutors online as I did in person?
Yes. Our amazing staff of peer and professional tutors has not changed; they’re just working remotely instead of in-person. We are not outsourcing our tutoring services, so you can be sure that your tutors are the same folks who know you, know your professors, and know Suffolk.
How will drop-in tutoring work now?
All CLAS tutoring will be appointment-based for summer 2020.
