Students who wish to participate in tutoring for the first time must complete a brief introduction to learn about tutoring services and expectations prior to making an appointment.

Step 1: In Blackboard, join the organization.

Step 2: Complete the Learning Center (TLC) Tutoring Orientation Module where you will learn:

  • How to access TLC's academic support opportunities
  • Tutoring boundaries to protect yourself and make the most of your tutoring session.
  • How to sign the mandatory Tutee Agreement each semester.
  • How to make a tutoring appointment in our online booking system, WC Online.

Step 3: Log into to find a tutor and schedule your appointment!

If you would like more information on academic resources, how tutoring works, how to use the scheduling system, or have any issues with this Blackboard introduction, please contact the tutoring coordinator at tutoring@rochester.edu. We are happy to assist you.

Cancel an Appointment

Please cancel your appointment online at least 12 hours in advance and be sure to get in touch with your tutor for any last-minute cancellations or changes to your appointment. No-shows count against you through the enforcement of a three strikes policy. After three missed appointments, you will lose access to book tutoring appointments.
