| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | To improve the quality of support provided to students, this initiative aims to equip tutors with the specific textbooks and learning materials used in key courses with high engagement. By granting tutors access to these textbooks, they can better understand course content, anticipate students' needs, and provide more informed guidance. Tutors' ability to directly reference and utilize course-specific materials during tutoring sessions enhances their ability to support students' understanding and academic performance. This initiative also supports tutors' professional development by allowing them to engage with the same materials that students are using, improving their knowledge of the curriculum and fostering a deeper connection to the learning experience. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Without funding for textbook access, tutors may struggle to provide effective support to students, especially in courses with more complex or specialized materials. This gap can hinder students' learning progress and reduce the overall effectiveness of tutoring services, ultimately impacting student retention and academic success. |
