Overview

Excerpt

GradesFirst allows students to check in and out of tutoring and advising appointments by using their UWF student ID cards or their student ID numbers. As of January 2015, the ACE Lab, the MathStat Tutor Lab, and the Writing Lab require students to either bring their UWF student ID cards or memorize their student ID numbers.

What you see when you check in and out of a kiosk depends on the situation.  These instructions will explain what you'll do if you made a tutoring appointment using GradesFirst, if you want to attend a study hall, and if you are checking in and out of the Writing Lab.

Step 3

Select the study hall you would like.

Keep in mind that students who visit a study hall are planning to study either by themselves or with their peers, whether a tutor is available or not.  Also keep in mind that, if a tutor is available, he or she may not be able to dedicate lengthy periods of time to you because other students may also need the tutor's assistance.
