Making Appointments at the Math/Stats Help Centre

Hints

When booking appointments, please keep the Help Centre's schedule in mind. That is, appointments are currently only available during the afternoons and during lunch time on Wednesdays and Thursdays. If the Help Centre's schedule is modified to allow for appointments during other times of day, the scheduling program will reflect that. However, please feel free to drop in during whenever the Help Centre is open.

Appointment-making procedure

Before making your appointment, please read all the information on the appointment-making page. Be sure to submit your information. If you supply an email address, your appointment information should be emailed to you. If you don't have email, be sure to write down your appointment time.

Please enter your first name (preferred, not necessarily legal) and last name in the name field. Please make sure to supply a valid entry for each field - 'none' is not an acceptable name, phone number or email address. If something happens and your appointment can't take place as scheduled, we would like to be able to contact you.

Please note: Students who give neither a valid phone number nor a valid email address will have their appointments cancelled. (There have been too many cases where appointments are booked without this information, and the booker fails to show up for the appointment.) Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you don't see your course listed among those on the course drop-down menu, then please email us. It may mean that there are no staff members with expertise in your class, or it may not.

Due to a limited number of appointment times, a student is limited to two appointments per week. If you are interested in making a regular appointment, please email us at the address below.

To make an appointment, click on the appointment form.

Meeting with a tutor

Please sign in (in the log-in book) and let one of the tutors know when you arrive that you are here for an appointment. Otherwise, the tutors may not realize you have arrived and think that you have decided not to come.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please email us at math-help@math.usask.ca as soon as possible.

Please note: There are only a limited number of appointment slots available during any given week. If you can't make it to your appointment, please do us the courtesy of letting us know. ** Even if you let us know after the fact, that is helpful. **

If you can't email us, then you can try calling the Help Centre at 966-6182 or the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at 966-6081. Alternatively, you can drop by the Help Centre (room 15 McLean Hall) and leave a message (on paper) for us.

In the past, certain students have booked many appointments and have failed to show up for them. This makes the booked appointment slots unavailable to other students, as well as potentially wasting staff time. If you miss an appointment and don't let us know, we may take that as an indication that you won't be showing up for subsequent appointments and we will adjust the appointment schedule accordingly.

Problems?

If you have trouble with the scheduling program, you might have to reload the page, especially if you have been making a lot of submissions. Using "Reload" or shift-Reload to reload the appointment scheduling page might eliminate the problem in this case.

Email us at math-help@math.usask.ca if you have questions or problems.
