What if I forget/lose my PantherCard? Will I still be able to enter the Math Lab without it? As a student, you are allowed one pass per semester if you do not have your PantherCard; after that, you will not be allowed to enter the Lab without a card for the duration of that semester.
How many tutoring appointments can I make? One 30 minute appointment for every day that we are open.
I have a test in a few hours, and I don't know the material, can a tutor teach it to me? You have to come prepared prior to seeing a tutor. This means attending class or catching up on a missed lecture by reading the book and/or watching the taped-lectures. Tutors are not allowed to teach but to assist you in the areas you are having trouble understanding within the allowed time.
I have a take-home test/quiz that my instructor has given me; can a tutor help me with it?
