Here’s how it works. Students will now have access to any academic tutor at any campus by using state-of-the-art technology for their tutoring session. The student will:
1. Search for appointment availabilities in the Campus2Campus Tutoring Center OR any Tutoring Center location (using TutorTrac in WaveNet).
2. Locate a session that fits your schedule, and
3. Contact your campus coordinator to officially schedule and confirm your online session and technology requirements and details. You must have a working WaveNet email address.Your online session will take place on the campus of your choice, or, with training in GoToMeeting, in your own home using a telephone, microphone, or webcam.
