Learning Center Tutors – Initial Assignments. ● Prior to scheduling tutors for an academic term, the Learning Center will notify prospective tutors via Oakton email to submit the tutor availability form. Prospective tutors will have at least 15 days to return the form. ● Initial tutoring assignments will be made on the basis of seniority, defined as the number of prior semesters of Learning Center tutoring in the tutor’s subject area. ● In order of seniority, adjunct faculty tutors will normally be offered a minimum assignment of 3 LHEs (135 clock hours), or whatever smaller number of hours the tutor has requested, subject to the availability of hours as determined by the operational needs of the Learning Center. ● Whenever possible, assignments will be offered within the days, times, and campus location requested on the availability form. ● After initial minimum assignments have been offered, additional hours may be assigned at the discretion of the Learning Center. ● Tutors who are unable to accept the assignment offered will notify the tutor supervisor as soon as possible by phone or email. ● The Learning Center will maintain tutor seniority lists by subject area to facilitate seniority-based tutor assignments. Seniority lists will be available for inspection at any reasonable time and made available in digital form at the request of a tutor or the Association.
