If you choose to take advantage of the free tutoring services offered to you as a registered student at the University of Hawaii Maui College, you must understand and agree to the following terms:

Appointments

Some locations allow you to book more than one (1) tutoring appointment per day per subject, and may allow you may schedule appointments up to two-weeks in advance. Most appointments will be done through Zoom or other web-conferencing tool. Our tutors can help you with setting up your computer for tutoring.

Attendance

You will reschedule your appointment or wait until a tutor is available.
