Tutorial Services
The OSL will be primarily conducting in person drop-in tutoring for the duration of
the Fall, 2021 semester. The OSL will resume online only tutoring in the event of
pandemic related shut-downs.
Students will be able to schedule appointments with specific tutors using WCONLINE.
WCONLINE has an interactive whiteboard for online consultations.
The OSL also uses Discord for an online community space. You can talk with students, ask
tutors and staff quick questions, and stay up-to-date with OSL announcements.
Be respectful of all participants in public and private sessions.
Make sure you have a steady internet connection and all systems (microphone, camera
etc.) are working properly before you request online tutoring. If these systems are
not working let the tutor/TA know so that they can adjust their method of communication
(eg. chat).
Try to focus on the session; avoid distractions to make the most of your and the tutors
time.
Communicate with the tutors and TAs, let them know if the method they are using isn't
working for you.
Do not request help with quizzes or exams unless the OSL is an approved resource for
this work.
Do not share the Discord invitation link. The Discord Invitation Form is required for entry to our server. You will only have to do this once.
Contact the OSL at osl@nmt.edu if you have any questions about online tutoring, we're here to help!
Peer Mentors
The NMT Peer Mentor program is designed to provide new Techies with support during
their first few semesters at Tech. Some benefits of the program include:
Support: Peer Mentors are available if you have questions, concerns, or just want
to chat.
Resources: Peer Mentors will show you the resources and services on campus designed
to help you succeed.
Involvement: Peer Mentors will introduce you to activities and events within your
department and on campus so that you're involved from the beginning.
The SRS includes three separate events where undergraduate and graduate students may
participate. The goal of the SRS is to provide students with a platform to present
and discuss their research with a general audience.
Giving to the OSL
Student success is the priority for the Office for Student Learning.
The two main programs offered through this office are
Free peer tutoring
Summer Math Success Scholarship
We greatly appreciate your support in growing the reach of these two programs.
PEER TUTORING
Successful students take advantage of the free peer tutoring program at New Mexico
Tech. Tutoring is offered across disciplines and at all levels. Peer tutors are special
individuals who care about others’ success, and know how to present material in different
ways for different learning styles.
Degrees at New Mexico Tech start with Calculus, but many incoming students do not
have an opportunity to prepare for Calculus before arriving at NMT. The Summer Math
Scholarship (SMS) enables incoming new students to take a New Mexico Tech distance
education Pre-Calculus Algebra or Trigonometry class the summer before they start
as full-time NMT undergraduates.
This course advances their understanding of math and their math placement, familiarizes
them with NMT math faculty, and introduces them to some of their incoming classmates.
Your contribution to either of these two funds will have an immediate and long-lasting
impact on student outcomes now and in the future.
