By resolution No. 186 of 4 November 2015, the Academic Senate adopted the following guidance note pursuant to Article 2, Section 3 of the Tutoring Regulations:
All Departments are required to establish a “Tutoring Coordination Committee” composed of a minimum of three and a maximum of seven faculty members, one student representative from the Department Council, and the Head of the Department’s Teaching Office (or their delegate). The Committee is responsible for organizing and monitoring tutoring services and also has an advisory role, submitting proposals to the Degree Programme Councils and to the Department Council on the initiatives to be undertaken.
