How do I sign up for PAL?
PAL APPOINTMENT TUTORING: For regular weekly tutoring, you can drop by the PAL office in Williston 100 and fill out an application. After applying, you're matched up with an advanced student who will guide you through the course. A tutor will be assigned to you, usually, within one week of your application, based upon tutor availability. When your tutor calls, you both decide when and where you will meet. Students are eligible for a maximum of three hours of tutoring per week, per course. In order for tutoring to be effective, you should meet with your tutor once a week through the semester.

PAL TUTORING CENTERS: Should you need short-term tutoring or only have a question or two, check out the tutoring center schedules to find a drop-in tutor. You do NOT need an appointment to use the centers, just walk in for help. FALL 2008... schedules for Tutoring Centers
