ITP (INTENSIVE TUTORING PROGRAM)

ITP is designed for students who still need to pass one or both parts of the CUNY Assessment Test in Mathematics (CAT-M).  Participants work one-on-one with MSRC tutors and complete online homework assignments.  Upon successful completion of the program, participants receive a new testing pass to retake the CAT-M.

ITP runs four times per year:  twice in the fall semester and twice in the spring semester.  Eligible students should consult the News & Announcements page of the MSRC web site for relevant deadlines.

ELIGIBILITY

Eligible students are those students who need to pass the CAT-M and are not eligible to register for the corresponding remedial math course (MATH 100 for CAT-M1, MATH 103 for CAT-M2).  Usually these are students who have already taken the course twice, or who cannot register due to a testing stop related to the CAT-M.

WHAT TO EXPECT

ITP participants will participate in a minimum of 24 one-on-one tutoring appointments with MSRC tutors.  Attendance requirements are strictly enforced.  Course materials will be provided, and homework will be assigned at the end of each tutoring session, to be completed by the start of the next session.  In addition, participants will be provided with an access code for web-based tutorial.  The online assessment test must be completed prior to the first tutoring session.  Based on the assessment test, a personalized study plan will be developed, including additional online homework assignments.  All homework assignments-- those assigned by the tutorial software and by the tutors-- must be completed in a timely fashion.  Homework requirements are strictly enforced.  Upon completion of all program requirements, participants will receive a testing pass and must contact the Testing Office to schedule a time to retake the CAT-M within a designated timeframe.
