College HELP

College HELP fees are based on the number of hours of tutoring/week a student registers for each semester.

1 hour of tutoring per week for the 14-16 week semester

  • WV Resident $500/hour
  • Metro Student $550/hour
  • Non-WV Resident $700.00/hour

If students drop courses or decide they no longer need the hours they signed up for, The HELP Program will credit* students for hours dropped according to the following schedule:

  • 100% Credit: Drop by Friday of Week 1 of the semester
  • 75% Credit: Drop by Friday of Week 2 of the semester
  • 50% Credit: Drop by Friday of Week 3 of the semester
  • No credit after the 3rd Friday of the semester

Proper procedures for add/drop of tutoring hours must be followed. See Sara Barker or Diane Williams for information. Tutoring hours added after the beginning of the semester are prorated.
