These courses are established by the college or university as three-credit electives in various academic departments such as Sociology, Economics, and Elementary Education.

To receive credit for the course, the undergraduates are required to:

1. Tutor five hours each week of the semester. (Each undergraduate is required to produce a minimum of 50 hours of tutoring per semester; that is, five hours of tutoring per week x the 10 weeks in a semester.)
   
   
2. Attend a weekly seminar with their college faculty supervisor.
   
   
3. Submit a one-page report each three weeks of the semester to their college faculty supervisor.
   
   
4. Keep a private journal.
   
   
5. Submit a Final Report to their college faculty supervisor at the end of the semester.

As determined by each college, the course may be offered as "pass/fail" or for a letter grade.
