Tutoring sessions will be drop-in live sessions with one tutor available to answer student questions. Students who require more sustained support can request a 30-minute breakout session.
Breakout sessions are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. They can only be requested the day of, and students must be logged in and present at least 15 minutes prior to their session or their session will be forfeited.
Because of limited availability, students may only have one breakout session per day and two per week. We also ask that students please keep in mind that one tutor will be managing the drop-in tutoring session as well as the breakout session.

Each San Antonio College student receives a maximum of 300 minutes per semester of online tutoring. Each time Live Tutoring is used, the amount of time spent with a tutor is deducted from the 300 minutes. Please note that each live tutoring session is limited to 30 minutes. Also, each time the Writing Lab is used to submit a paper, or each time the Submit a Question option is used, 35 minutes will be deducted. If students use all 300 minutes within a semester and need additional time, please email sac-BFadmin@alamo.edu to request additional time. Additional time is never guaranteed, a team will review your request and respond within 48 hours of the request.
