TUTORING HOURS:  Tutoring begins May 31.  This summer we will offer two different types of tutoring.  The first is regular small-group appointment tutoring available by going to Navigate and selecting Tutoring/Learning Centers and then your course. 

(NEW) The second is drop-in tutoring. During the hours below a single tutor is available to answer short questions for MATH 101, MATH 124, MATH 125.50, MATH 150, MATH 155 and MATH 156 on a walk-in basis.  This is not the same as a tutoring appointment but instead will give you a resource if you are working on your own (or in a study group) and have a quick question.
