Frequently Asked Questions

• How many appointments can I schedule?
• Why do I need to select a class before reserving an appointment?
• How far in advance can I cancel tutoring and writing center appointments?
• How can I check my tutoring and/or writing center appointments?

You may schedule one appointment for each class that we offer tutoring in each week (Monday through Thursday). If you do not show up for a scheduled appointment, you cannot schedule an appointment in the same week. If you do not show up twice, you will be unable to schedule. If you cancel an appointment, you will be able to schedule another appointment.

The Learning Center maintains records of which classes students are requesting tutoring sessions for. Also, an email is sent each week to the instructors to let them know that you are making the extra effort by attending tutoring sessions.

You may cancel up to two hours before your session starts. This time is needed to allow another student to use the time slot.

For the Writing Center bring your assignments, readings, and any drafts of writing you may have done.
