How to Reserve a Tutoring Session Seat

Students may sign-up two weeks in advance for specific tutoring sessions. Students must be currently enrolled in the course in order to receive tutoring. Students must also have attended all scheduled classes.

How to Cancel a Tutoring Session Seat

To cancel a reservation, contact Ms. Novic or cancel on the web no later than noon the day of the tutoring session.

Students who reserve a seat and do not show will have a “no show” marked on their record. Students who are more than 15 minutes late for a session will have a “no show” marked on their record. After two no shows, students will have their reservation privileges revoked for the semester.
