Overview

Although the Writing Lab wants students to call or visit to schedule appointments, the "Request a Tutor Appointment" feature of GradesFirst cannot be disabled without disabling it for other UWF tutoring services that do prefer students to use this feature. Writing Lab Managers will have to respond to these e-mails, letting the students know that they need to call or visit the Writing Lab.
