A walk-in session gives you the freedom to seek our tutoring services without having to make an appointment. As with all tutoring options, walk-in sessions focus on your specific concerns for a specific course. It is likely you won’t be the only one attending a walk-in session as you may be joined by others in the same course. Walk-ins are usually held in the evenings for two or three hours. You may come and go as you please — as always, we do encourage you to bring specific questions to make the session productive.

When you enter the Learning Center for walk-in tutoring, you will either find your tutor, or you can ask the front desk attendant to help you locate them. Your tutor will then ask you to sign in.

You and a trained tutor should have a brief discussion that helps set the agenda for the tutoring session. The information you provide to your tutor in the first few minutes of the session is essential to a productive tutoring session. The tutor, especially if this is your first time meeting with each other, needs to learn about you, the class, and your understanding of the course’s concepts. During a walk-in session, the tutor will use these strategies to help you. However, it is important to remember that walk-in session time must be divided between you and the other students who arrive during the scheduled walk-in session.

• While we will try to help you understand the course material and learn new strategies for academic success, a walk-in session should be viewed as “learning triage.” For extensive concerns or to work on large projects, please consider scheduling an appointment with a tutor through Cardinal Star.
• The tutor may not be able to address all of your concerns during the walk-in — especially if you arrive minutes before the walk-in session ends or if the walk-in is particularly busy.
• Remember to check with the tutor for his/her walk-in schedule.

As much as tutors want to assist you, they will not be able to go over all the material and will not do the work for you. After your questions have been answered or if the shift ends, you'll complete your sign-out paperwork with your tutor.

We do not offer appointments during finals week. but rather walk-in review sessions. Our tutors are not required to tutor, but it is our hope that we can have coverage for our high-demand subject areas. These sessions can be between the hours of noon to 9 p.m. and can last two-to-three hours. We tend to have a high number of students attending these sessions so it’s important to note that the tutor will not be able to answer all of your questions. We strongly encourage you to attend walk-ins throughout the entire semester so that the final walk-in session is a productive one.

• A walk-in session is different from our appointment-based tutoring sessions because you do not need to make an appointment and we do not require you to sign a contract for tutorial services.
• However, it is still of utmost importance that you come to the session prepared. Since you are ultimately responsible for your success in the course, you need to be actively involved in the class and the tutoring session.
• Remember to bring the appropriate materials to your tutoring session (including the course textbook, syllabus, course documents, notebook, and pen or pencil).
• We also expect you to recognize that a walk-in session is a special opportunity for studying. In order for everyone involved to benefit, we ask that you treat the tutor(s) and other students attending the walk-in session with respect and courtesy.
• While we do not generate reports that are sent your professor, professors — or other appropriate members of the campus community (like advisors or program directors) — sometimes ask for information regarding student use of our services. If asked, and with your permission, we send an update that covers the number of visits, name of tutor(s) and material covered in tutoring session(s) attended.

• Walk-ins are, as their title implies, sessions held without appointments
• Before you attend other content course (like CHE 101) specific walk-in times, remember to check to make sure that the session is not professor specific. Throughout the semester our walk-in session offerings change to meet the needs of the student community
