How do I sign up for PAL?
PAL APPOINTMENT TUTORING: For regular weekly tutoring, you can drop by the PAL office in Williston 100 and fill out an application. After applying, you're matched up with an advanced student who will guide you through the course. A tutor will be assigned to you, usually, within one week of your application, based upon tutor availability. When your tutor calls, you both decide when and where you will meet. Students are eligible for a maximum of three hours of tutoring per week, per course. In order for tutoring to be effective, you should meet with your tutor once a week through the semester.
