You can click here to make an appointment with a tutor via TutorTrac.

• There are two ways to work with a tutor: by appointment and by drop-in. We recommend an appointment whenever possible.

• Appointments are 25-minutes long, with a five-minute grace period to allow the tutor to prepare for the next appointment.

• Appointments can be made with as little as a 24-hour notice.
• You can make an appointment up to 14 days in advance.
• You may schedule up to 3 appointments in a 7-day period. You may also drop in as often as you wish, as tutor availability allows.
• If you cannot attend a scheduled appointment, please cancel in advance. If you cannot cancel in advance, you may lose your appointment privileges.
• Appointments may be limited during the first few weeks of the semester, due to high demand. However, you may drop in during that time to see an available tutor.

• For in-person tutoring, you must check in at the front desk before receiving tutoring, even if you have an appointment. Provide your student ID, and let them know you have arrived for tutoring. You must also check out at the front desk after your tutoring session.
• Tutors will help you with assignment clarification, understanding formulas and concepts, and grammar.
• Tutors will not help you complete graded assignments, essays, or labs. They can help you understand your assignments and understand concepts in your courses, but they cannot ethically help you complete graded assignments.
• You should prepare for tutoring by bringing assignments, instructions, lecture notes, questions you have for the tutor, and have a goal in mind for the tutoring session.
