Faculty Referrals

The Tutoring and Learning Center (TLC) works with instructors to ensure student success in class. If a student is having difficulty, instructors are encouraged to refer him or her to the TLC for individual tutorial assistance. Instructors can identify specific areas the student needs help with and be assured that TLC staff will focus on those areas.

Students do not need a referral and may visit the TLC anytime they wish to have support for their courses.

Faculty should refer students in both of the following ways:

• Encourage all students to visit the TLC early in the semester and to return when they have questions
• Submit electronic referrals sent to your email within 48 hours of receipt

TLC faculty are allowed to review, record and track student information according to FERPA guidelines:

"Faculty and administrative officers of the college who demonstrate a legitimate educational need will be permitted to look at the official student record of a particular student."

For more information, please review the full FERPA policy in the College Catalog or reach out to Human Resources with questions.

The TLC does not provide help with preparing for college entrance placement tests. Wake Tech recommends students take sample tests in writing, reading and math before taking the placement test by visiting the Wake Tech Admission Testing Center.
