Overview
A "student service" is the name of the service that the UWF tutoring services offers. Student services 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 student services for the ACE Lab and the Writing Lab were created before the Fall 2014 semester began.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure you have Kiosk Administrator user role. Review Step 1 of Setting up a kiosk in GradesFirst, for tutors managers to see who should have this user role.
Step 2
Open any web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.). Go to uwf.gradesfirst.com. Log in.
Step 3
Click on the downward-facing arrow in the top right corner of the screen. A drop-down menu should appear. Click "Admin Settings."
Step 4
Click on the "Student Services" link in the "Kiosk Options" section.
Step 5
Review the student services listed.
ACE Lab Staff: The student services "Study Hall," "Tutoring," and "General Paper Editing" should already be listed.

Step 6
Create, revise, or confirm the name of your student service. The name cannot exceed 30 characters.
Check the box beside "Active" if you want the student service active (meaning that tutors can use this student service at a kiosk, and that students can schedule and request appointments for this student service if the tutoring service allows).
Step 7
Select the type of service you want this student service to be.
- "Advising" is reserved for advisors.

ACE Lab Staff: The student services that follow this type of service are "Tutoring" and "General Paper Editing."
