AAC Policies:
Individual tutoring sessions are limited to a half hour, and you are expected to be on time and to have looked over the assignment first.
All services are free to registered undergraduate students at PLU.
Tutoring is done on campus, usually in the Academic Assistance Center in Library 124. Other study sessions also occur in other locations such as the Computer Science Lab, the Geosciences Lab, the Math Lab, and various classrooms.
