Hello, Lovely Tutors!
We have come nearly to the end of our fist week of tutoring. Great job!
I have just a couple of announcements and a BUNCH of tutor requests. Here goes:
1. TutorTrac is back up and directions on logging session records is up on the blog.
2. The next pay period will be ending this week. Please be sure ALL of your session records are logged in TutorTrac and your hours entered in PeopleSoft by Sunday night at midnight.
3. The Honor’s College is looking for a tutor to lead drop-in sessions on Wednesday evenings (6-8, 7-9, or 8-10 pm) weekly this semester. IF you are interested, let me know ASAP! I would like to get this started by next week.
4.There is a new ID/password for the printer and copier for tutors in the Co-op. It is 678.

Hi, everybody!
Just wanted to let you all know that TutorTrac is back and fully operational (we hope) as of today. You may disregard the paper scheduling system and, as per usual, record your sessions in the following manner:
For Campus-Wide Appointments:
1. Create a “Quick Visit” in TutorTrac to create a record of the session. Be sure to fill in all of the fields.
2. Enter the hours you have worked into PeopleSoft. Be sure they match the date and number of sessions you have reported in TutorTrac.
For Co-op Based Appointments:
1. Be sure to check your schedule on TutorTrac no more than an hour before your scheduled availability.
2. When you meet with a student, return to your schedule to mark the session as attended and to complete your notes in the session record.
3. Enter the hours you have worked into PeopleSoft. Be sure they match the date and number of sessions you have reported in TutorTrac.
For Drop-In Group Tutors and SI Leaders:
1. You will need to have all students sign an attendance sheet for each session you have. We will log the sessions into TutorTrac here in the Learning Co-op; you do not need to do this.
2. You will need to submit a work summary report before the end of each pay period.
3. Enter the hours you have worked into PeopleSoft. Be sure they match the date and number of sessions you have reported in TutorTrac and on your work summary report.
For Work-Study Tutors:
1. Follow the directions as indicated above.
2. For Co-op based appointments, remember you are required to show up and get paid for all availabilities, even if no one schedules an appointment with you.
3. You will need to complete a paper work summary report (found by the printer and on the blog) each week and submit it to Rachel.
4. You will need to enter your hours into PeopleSoft weekly.
Thanks, and have a great first week on tutoring!

Hello, All–
As long as TutorTrac is down, we will need to keep track of sessions using a paper recording model. For each session, you will need to complete a Session Record. At the end of each pay period, you will need to submit a Work Summary Report along with your session records. The hours listed on the Work Summary Report will need to match the hours you enter in PeopleSoft. For a more complete summary of the paper recording system, look HERE.

Hello, Tutors–
The first day of tutoring is MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. Both Co-op based and campus-wide appointments will begin on this date.
With the official start of our work together looming close, I have a few announcements and reminders for you.
1. Until further notice, TutorTrac will not be operational during our first week of tutoring. We have instituted a paper record-keeping system for the interim. You will need to complete a paper session record (found attached, on the blog, at the Co-op front desk, and in each of the cubicles) for each session you hold with a student. In addition, you will need to complete a work summary report before each pay period and enter your hours in PeopleSoft. The time you enter in PeopleSoft will need to match that recorded on your work summary report.
2. In order to begin tutoring this semester, you must complete the online policy reminder survey: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&pli=1&formkey=dGJqckxoUGxzMGxxUXNHa0Y5UlhBMlE6MQ#gid=0
3. If you have received work study funding and would like to be paid using this award for your work in the Learning Co-op, please let me know as soon as possible so I can process your hire in the work study database.
4. For students being paid using work study funds, you will need to enter your hours in PeopleSoft each week. Regulations have changed, and you will no longer be able to retroactively add hours. Furthermore, you will need to complete a work summary report for each week.
5. I am still looking for group tutors interested in leading drop-in sessions for BSAD 60, 61, 65, and 180; Statistics, Biology, and Psychology. If you are interested, email me to set up a meeting.
6. If you are interested in participating in a conversation with Charlie Rathbone in regard to Universal Design for Learning as a follow-up to our all-tutor meeting, send me an email and let me know when you would be available to attend.
Thanks!
Rachel
