Overview
A "location" is the name of the UWF tutoring service the students visit. Locations need to be created in GradesFirst before tutors set up a kiosk, before tutors set their availability, and before students can schedule and request appointments through GradesFirst.
NOTE: The locations for the ACE Lab and the Writing Lab were created before the Fall 2014 semester began.
