In-person appointments will meet in the psychology computer lab; SBS A-240A (enter through SBS B-241G).
Late & Cancellation Policy
If students are running late, they will have a five-minute grace period after the start of their appointment. After the grace period, we cancel the appointment and may offer the time slot to a waiting student. The student is responsible for contacting the IST or ISA if they know they will be late beyond five minutes. However, the late appointment will not extend past the initial 30-minute time slot due to the scheduling of other appointments and drop-in sessions.
If you cannot attend your appointment, you must cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance to allow another student to book the appointment. Appointment modifications can be made through your Calendly confirmation email.

Example questions of what to ask your tutor for best support:
• "I am having difficulty starting the introduction of my research paper. Can you provide me with material to help me better understand how to begin writing?"
• "My professor has asked us to write an annotated bibliography, but how do I know if an article is peer-reviewed?"
• "Can you please provide feedback on the methods section of my research paper? I would like to know if I cited the measures correctly."
Example questions of what not to ask your tutor:
• "How do I write an introduction section of a research paper?
• "What goes in an annotated bibliography?"
• "Can you review my introduction to see if I am missing anything? Here is the rubric from my professor."
