Students can make an appointment by scheduling a time on the tutoring calendar. Tutors are available to meet with walk-ins if an appointment has not been made. If you are unable to meet on campus, you can request a virtual link be sent for your appointment.  Students that are unable to meet with an OCtech tutor at the times listed on the calendar can use Brainfuse to meet with a tutor.
