Summer 2025 Elementary Literacy Tutoring (Virtual)
Applications for Summer 2025 are closed as of May 1, due to an increased number of applicants. If you have already applied for the program, we will begin notifying families of acceptance into the summer program starting in mid-May 2025.
We cannot guarantee that all children who sign up for the program will be placed. Because the State Education Department of New York requires that graduate students fulfill a specified number of tutoring hours, all children recommended for the SUNY Cortland Summer may be recorded for the purpose of graduate student supervision only protected by SUNY Cortland servers.
If you have any questions or changes to make to an existing application, please contact Leah VanDonsel (leah.vandonsel@cortland.edu) using the subject line "Literacy Tutoring Questions."
