Frequently Asked Questions
How do I schedule an appointment?
You have several options: you can stop by during our walk-in hours, and we'll do our best to assist you; you can use our online scheduler (your login, if you've never used it before, is your school email with your last name as your password); or you can give us a call at x4493. Calling or stopping by is the best option if you can't make any of the posted hours.
What is the meaning of life?
We don't know either. But keep looking. Let us know if you figure it out; we may post your answer. Meanwhile, try typing "What is the meaning of life?" into Wolfram Alpha.

So You Want to be a Tutor...
We are always on the lookout for friendly people, in any major, with interests in writing and in helping others. Your writing doesn't have to bear the mark of genius: it is more important that you are able to think critically about writing than that you be Shakespeare himself. We provide training in conducting tutorials and workshops, and experience in public speaking. Plus it looks great on your resume.
