ARC Tutoring
Free peer tutoring is available to students in most lower division math and science courses. These courses are typically at the 1000 and 2000 level. Additionally, tutoring is available in select business courses in some upper division electives. Check the schedule (See below for link and instructions) for tutor availability. In 2019, ARC Tutoring was certified as a level 1 center through the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA).

How to Schedule an Appointment
All ARC Tutoring appointments are scheduled online at this website:
Enter your GSU email address and password. Then click the “log-in” tab.
If this is your first time using this site, you need to register an account. Instructions on how to register an account are included in a separate document on the ARC website.
Make sure you are on the correct page. To find an ARC tutor, you need to click “schedules” from the drop-down menu and select “ARC Tutoring”.
Now select a tutor from the list. ARC Tutors have different expertise in courses and subject areas. It is important to select a tutor who can properly assist you with your course. If you select a tutor who does not assist students in that course, you will end up rescheduling your appointment.
Once you find a tutor who can assist in your course, then select a day and time that best fits your schedule. Click the white box that corresponds to the desired time.
Complete all requested information. A brief caveat, this website is designed for writing centers. Where you see “What part of your paper would you like to work on in your session” type in what you wish to cover in your tutorial. For best results, be as specific as possible when completing this section.
Scroll down a little bit and click on the blue tab that says Create Appointment. If you skip this step, your appointment will not be scheduled.
If all went well, your scheduled appointment would appear green (the box will turn from white to green).
Meet your tutor at the scheduled day / time in D2407.
If you schedule a remote appointment (look for the word “remote” next to the tutor’s name on the schedule), your tutor will send a Zoom link to your GSU email ahead of the appointment.
Finally, don’t forget to log out.
How to Cancel an Appointment
If you need to cancel your ARC Tutoring appointment.
Go to the scheduling website:
Enter your GSU email address and password. Then click the “log-in” tab.
Go to “ARC Tutoring” and find your appointment (the box should appear green)
If you place the curser over the appointment, the box will light up.
Click on that box – you will then be prompted to cancel your appointment.
Click the red Cancel Appointment tab.
How to Registrar an Account (for first time users of the site)
All ARC Tutoring appointments are scheduled online at this website:
If this is your first time accessing this site (for tutoring, writing, or mentoring appointments), you will need to register an account before scheduling your appointment. Please follow the directions carefully.
Go to the website and click on Register for an account.
Next, enter all requested information. You must use your GSU email address. The system will not allow you to register using a personal email.
You will also need to create a 10-character password. Keep the password in a safe place and do not lose it. We are unable to look up lost passwords.
Scroll down a little bit. You still have 2 things to do. First, confirm that you are not a robot, then click the Create Account tab.
If this was done successfully, you should see the log-in page with a message saying that the account was created successfully. You will be prompted to log-in by entering your email address and password.
Instructions on how to schedule your appointment are available in a separate document on the ARC website.
How to Change My Password
You want to schedule or cancel a tutoring appointment but are unable to log into the schedule. Unfortunately, we are unable to look up a password. When this occurs, you must request a password reset.
Stat by going to the scheduling website:
On the left-hand side of the screen, below where you normally log-in, click on the tab that says Reset Your Password.
Next you should see a box that prompts you to reset your password. Click the blue tab that says Reset Password. Make sure the email address you see in the box is accurate since the system will send information to that address.
Now you have a few things to do.
First, Check your GSU email. You should receive a message containing a token (a code to enter). Enter a new password of your choosing (must be 10 characters) and enter the token. Then click the Change Password tab.
Your password should be reset, and you will be prompted to log-in as usual.
If you are experiencing difficulties in resetting a password, contact the ARC Tutoring Coordinator or contact the front desk at 708.534.4090.
