In addition to drop-in tutoring, the Learning Center offers appointment-based tutoring (ABT). Students may attend one appointment-based tutoring session per subject, per week. If you need to cancel your appointment, please do so at least 12 hours in advance or your appointment will be considered a no-show. You may bring one friend to the appointment; please indicate if you plan to do so in the comments section when you make the appointment. Appointments are 50 minutes. Make an appointment in MU Connect by clicking the link at the bottom of the course list under your desired subject:

ABT Policies:

1. Students may attend one session per subject area each week, with a total limit of 3 appointments each week.
2. If you need to cancel your appointment, please do so at least 12 hours in advance or your appointment will be considered a no-show.
   • Please arrive on time. If you arrive late, the tutor will only work with you for the time remaining in your original time slot. For example, if you arrive at 2:10 for a 2:00 appointment, your tutor will work with you until 2:50 and no later.
   • If you do not show up within 15 minutes of the appointment start time, the tutor will leave the appointment and mark your appointment as a no-show.
   • If you cancel your appointment at least 12 hours before, you may reschedule your appointment with no penalty.
3. Your tutor has the right to end the tutoring session early if you are unprepared or otherwise incapable of being tutored. This is ultimately at the discretion of the tutor.
4. If you would like to request a change in location (e.g. move a Zoom appointment to in-person, or vice versa), you must do so at least one hour prior to the appointment.
5. Appointments take place on the main floor of the Student Success Center or virtually via Zoom. Please note the location you select when you make your appointment.
6. The deadline to schedule an appointment is 5pm the night before.
7. In case of a university closure, all appointments will be cancelled.
8. You are welcome to bring a friend to the appointment. If you plan to do so, please note that in the comment section when you make the appointment in MU Connect.
9. You should bring any relevant class notes, textbooks, supplies, and your charged device(s) to the tutoring appointment.  Be prepared with questions!
10. After three (3) missed appointments, you will be required to meet with a Tutoring Coordinator to have your ability to attend Learning Center appointment-based tutoring reinstated. Please note that the following scenarios qualify as missed appointments:
    • Late arrivals (more than 10 minutes)
    • Late cancellations (cancelling less than 12 hours in advance)
    • No-shows
    • Any combination of the above, subject to Coordinator discretion.
