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. |
