Tutoring and U:PASS

U:PASS

U:PASS is a student learning program designed to assist students who are studying subjects that are perceived as difficult or that historically have a high failure rate, mostly first year subjects. It isn’t tutoring, but group style study sessions with subjects that have proven difficult in the past. Sessions are run by high achieving students who have recently completed the subject.

U:PASS student leaders will design interactive materials that help you learn the content in a group setting. 

Other services and programs
