Online Tutoring

Online tutoring is designed for those students who cannot make it to campus for face-to-face tutoring during posted times.

To receive face-to-face tutoring, students should visit the Student Success Center and attend drop-in tutoring sessions. For more information, call 659-3725 or email studentsuccesscenter@mssu.edu.

To Access Online Tutoring

  • Fill out the tutoring appointment form (https://webapps.mssu.edu/FormWizard/FormViewer.aspx?Id=92). Be sure to choose “online” when asked for the mode of tutoring requested.
  • Someone from the Student Success Center will email you to set up a time for your online session.
  • To access the session, you’ll need to open Blackboard, and under “My Organizations,” choose “Student Success Center Tutoring.” The “Student Success Center & Tutoring” link also shows up in the left-hand column of Blackboard after you select one of your courses.
  • Once you are on the Student Success Center Tutoring Community page, in the left-hand column, select “Join Scheduled Online Tutoring Session.” You should then see your session listed by the first name of your assigned tutor. Click on the name to enter the session.
  • Once you are in the session, there will be a pink arrow in the lower right-hand corner. Click that in order to communicate with the tutor.
  • After you finish your session, please click on “Post Online Tutoring Survey” and give your feedback.
