Your Success is Our Goal

Institutional Tutoring: We strive to provide as much support to help you navigate the rigors of academics. Therefore, group tutoring will be available as needed via Zoom and in special cases face-to-face. Please check your email for days, times, and the link to the Zoom meeting or location. If there is not a group tutoring session and you would like one, please contact Dr. Roger Powell at or tutoring@graceland.edu. If a tutor is available, and people attend the tutoring session, then additional group tutoring sessions will be set up

Institutional Support Services (ISS): Provides developmental courses in math and English for freshmen, as determined by admissions criteria. Lamoni campus students may request tutoring as long as the student attends class and a tutor is available. Tutors are hired and trained by the Tutor Coordinator.
