[edit] Walk-ins
What is the benefit of getting help during walk-in hours?
Walk-in hours provide a chance for you to get some quick help with your math classes. We also have text books, student solution manuals and notes available for you to use. Just ask the walk-in coach to see what we have available.
How do walk-ins work?
Simply come to the learning center during our walk-in hours. Sign in on the sheet to your right as you walk into the room and have a seat. Start working and when you have a problem, raise your hand or ask a coach.
When are walk-ins offered?
Walk-in hours are posted on the door of the MLC and on the chalkboard inside. See a coach for more information and check the schedule below. You can walk in & get help from coaches on first-come first-serve basis.
