Best Approach to Success

Log in. Log in and out of the Math Lab for each visit.

Eliminate distractions. Place your cell phone on silent or vibrate. If you must take a call, please step outside the Lab.

Don’t wait until the last minute before a test to get help. The Math Lab is open 5 days a week, including evening and weekend hours.

Bring important materials. Textbooks, class notes, syllabus.

Work out problems before asking for help. If the tutors can see your work, they will be better able to help you find mistakes.
