For in-person appointments, students can expect to visit the Shakarian Student Success Center in office SSSC-245 (second floor). At the UWC, in-person sessions are conducted in one of the available cubicles at the designated appointment time, equipped with a desktop computer, keyboard, notepad, pens, and fidget toys to combat nervousness.
A typical in-person session begins with our front desk staff at the front of the office. Upon entering the UWC, our front desk staff will welcome incoming students, ask for appointment information (including name and campus ID), and formally “check-in” the appointment in the Beach Connect system.
All appointments will begin on the hour, in which a tutor will come to the waiting area to greet their student and guide them to a cubicle for the tutorial session.
