Hours and Location
On the Hanceville campus, we are located in the Bailey Center on the 8th floor. Our tutoring lab is an “open-lab,” meaning no appointment is necessary. Students are welcome to visit the lab any time we are open and receive one-on-one and group tutoring. Students will sign-in at the front desk with their A-number and then be assigned a tutor. Students may stay as long or as little as they please.
Students may also visit the lab for independent study. Students are welcome to come to the lab to work on assignments independently and ask for help as needed.
