To add new courses to your repertoire, you need to get a faculty recommendation. Just email the link below to your professors and they can fill out the form online and it comes directly to the learning co-op.
Keep in mind that there is a trickle down effect with the faculty recommendations. So, any courses that you took as part of a consecutive series can be approved by your most recent professor. For example, if you’ve taken Spanish 052, you only need to talk to your professor for Spanish 052 to get approved for 1-52 and not your professors from 1, 2, 51, and 52. Do make sure though that your professor marks off that they approve you tutoring the lower level courses on the form. Also, this only applies for courses that are required to take other, higher level courses. So, for example, getting a recommendation for Bcor 012 does not mean that you can use trickle down to qualify for Bcor 011 because you don’t need to take 11 to take 12.
If the professor that you took the class with is no longer at UVM or you took it at another school, you can talk to the department head instead.

Logging Hours Instructions
Each time you tutor you should log your hours in two places:
1. Tutor Trac
2. Peoplesoft
Tutor Trac is where you’ll submit your lognotes for each and every tutoring session that you have. To get to Tutor Trac, go to tutoring.uvm.edu and log in using your UVM NetID and password. How you log your hours will vary slightly depending on whether you are logging a campus-wide or a coop-based session. Please see the Tutor Trac instructions for more information.
Peoplesoft is where you’ll need to submit your time to get paid. To get to the site, go to catalyst.uvm.edu. Once there, do the following:
1. Log in under “Human Resources” using your UVM NetID and password
2. Once you’ve logged in, click on “Self Service” in the menu on the left side of the screen
3. Under “Self Service,” click on “Time Reporting”
4. Under “Time Reporting,” click on “Report Time”
5. Under “Report Time,” click on “Timesheet”
6. Now, if you are working multiple campus jobs, you’ll need to select your tutoring job at the learning co-op out of a list. Just look for Patience to be listed as your employer and you should be set. Click on your learning co-op job and then you’ll be taken to the timesheet. If you are working only one campus job, once you click on “Timesheet” you’ll be here.
7. Enter in your hours under the days that you worked. Remember that time needs to be entered in portions of an hour. So, if you worked for an hour and a half, you would enter 1.5 not 1.3.
8. Once you’ve entered in your hours for a given week, you would click on the “Time Reporting Code” drop-down menu and select either “Work Study Earnings” if you are using work study money or “Temporary Employee” if you are earning wages.
9. Under “Combo Code,” click on the box with the magnifying glass icon to look up your combo code. If you are working multiple campus jobs, there will be multiple combo codes. Just guess and check until you find the right one. The system will tell you whenever you pick the wrong one, so it’s pretty easy. If you are only working one campus job, there is only one combo code. So, just click it and it should work.
10. Click “Submit”
If you are entering hours for a week other than the current one, you can click “Previous Week” to move back in the schedule or you can click on the calendar icon next to the date to jump to a day in the calendar.
