BAC In-House Tutoring Tutoring is provided by faculty and highly-qualified peer tutors for a number of courses across the academic disciplines. Tutoring sessions are available by appointment only during scheduled hours. During the 2020-21 academic year we will not offer walk-in tutoring as in the past. Students will now need to make an appointment for BAC in-house tutoring. To do this, students must log in to their Canvas account and select Tutoring Options. This will allow the student to book sessions of 15-minute intervals with in-house tutors face to face, located in the Academic resource Center. This service will remain available to students during distance learning beginning November 30th. Appointments will remain scheduled in the same manner but will be conducted virtually.Students may access ThinkingStorm as well as the current appointment based tutoring schedule by logging into their Canvas account and clicking on Tutoring Options.
