What is a drop-in hour?

Drop-In sessions are designed to allow for individual questions that a student may have for the tutor in a quick question setting. Drop-In sessions are capped at 5 students per session hour. If only one student signs up for the Drop-In session, then that session hour may be treated as a regular individual tutoring session.

Drop-In courses for the fall are generally within the 1000-level introductory STEM courses. Additional courses may be available depending on tutor availability. Ask your tutor whether your course can be accommodated for a drop-in session.

How do I sign up for a drop-in hour?  

  • Drop-In Hour sessions are found in our “Tutoring 1-1 Schedule” and are capped at 5 students per session.
  • Reserve your appointment with the tutor for the relevant course using WCOnline, our online scheduling platform.
  • Make note of your tutor’s name, time, and date of your session. This info is also included in the confirmation email.
  • Drop-In Hours occur in many of our locations, so make note of the location of your reserved spot.
  • Students who do not sign up beforehand online are still encouraged to come and ask the tutor if there is space for them to attend a session!
  • All students, regardless of their reserved online space on WCOnline, should please also sign in with the tutor on the hard copy sign-in sheet.

Policies for a drop-in hour

If you have registered online on our scheduling platform, WCOnline, prior to the Drop-In session, you are guaranteed a spot in the tutors’ session hour. If you are truly “Dropping-in”, and there is space to accommodate you (i.e., less than five people pre-registered in the Drop-In session) please let the tutor know that you are not registered and ask if there is space to attend.

If the Drop-In hour is fully booked on our WCOnline scheduler, you may still arrive at the session location in-person and tell the tutor on staff that you are on the waitlist should a registered client not show up.

The scheduled tutor has full discretion in the moment to distribute their time effectively throughout the full Drop-In session.

All students, regardless of their reserved online space on WCOnline, should please also sign in with the tutor on the hard copy sign-in sheet.
