Guidlines and Hours

Appointment Guidelines

  • Students may schedule up to two (2) tutoring appointments per week per subject. Appointments may be made up to two weeks in advance.
  • Appointments for courses must be made using a subject-based service. Appointments made using the "academic skills" function for course-based work will be required to reschedule. (Academic skills appointments are only for non-course-based essays or learning study skills.)
  • Appointments cannot be scheduled for the same subject back-to-back to ensure equal opportunity to time slots.
  • Please be respectful of your tutors' time by arriving on time. Tutors will leave after a 15-minute wait and mark the student as a "no-show."
  • If you cannot attend your appointment, please cancel by going to the online scheduling system, Navigate, or emailing the campus where you scheduled the tutoring appointment.
