MAKE THE MOST OUT OF IT:

Come prepared. We ask for students to be fully engaged in the learning process. Our services are a supplement to regular class attendance, not a substitute.

The peer educator will speak with a ULC Coordinator over the course of the next two sessions if a student is clearly unprepared. Students could be removed from tutoring if they are repeatedly unprepared for their session.

STUDENTS SHOULD...

  • Be prepared.
  • Attend all classes.
  • Read assigned materials and complete or attempt assignments.
  • Bring important materials such as:
    • Textbooks
    • Class notes
    • Pencils
    • Calculator
    • Syllabus
    • Copy of assignment
    • Rough draft
    • Ideas
  • Bring a flashdrive if you want to use a computer.
  • Have a clear goal in mind for your appointment.
  • Participate actively in the session.
  • Be willing to try new ideas suggested by your peer educator. 
  • Schedule appointments ahead of time. Don't wait until the last minute to get help!
  • Work out problems before asking for help. Peer educators will be better able to help you if they can see your work.

PEER EDUCATORS WILL:

  • Ask you lots of questions.
  • Encourage you to work in groups when appropriate.
  • Help you with test preparation and study skills.
  • Make suggestions, not lecture or grade you.
  • Take the time to explore your concerns about the assignment.
  • Work with you to help you grasp the concepts.

PEER EDUCATORS WON'T:

  • Complete an assignment for you.
  • Correct your assignment.
  • Email you materials in lieu of your appointment.
  • Help with take-home exams or quizzes.

Make an appointment

Appointments must be canceled at least 24 hours before they are scheduled to occur. Please be sure to familiarize yourself with our Attendance Policy. Do NOT contact your tutor directly! Doing so will not cancel your appointment.

To cancel your appointment, follow these steps: 

  1. Login to our online appointment system using your UNCW username and password
  2. Choose Main Menu
  3. Find the appointment you want to cancel and choose the "X" at the end
  4. Choose Confirm Cancellation

You may also call or email the ULC to cancel your appointment. 

***Please note that declining or responding to the Outlook calendar invitation emailed to you when you scheduled your appointment will not actually cancel your appointment - you must follow the steps above***
