Making an Appointment with a Tutor

How to Make an Appointment with a Tutor

The TLC uses an online schedule system for tutoring appointments.

  1. Go to my.tmcc.edu, or select MyTMCC Login from the TMCC home page.
  2. Log in using your TMCC username and password.
  3. Once you are logged in, click on the Schedule Tutoring icon-link on the Dashboard
  4. Then, click on the Scheduling an appointment link
  5. Next, choose the subject for which you would like to schedule a tutoring appointment. Boxes that are white are open time slots.
    Please Note: If you would like to make an appointment for you and a study buddy you may do this one of two ways:
    1. You and your study buddy can make back-to-back appointments and come together for the entire time; or
    2. One of you can make the appointment and simply ask the tutor at the beginning of the session if it is OK for your buddy to join.

Missed Appointment and Cancellation Policy

Students will receive an e-mail message from us after you miss one appointment. After two missed appointments, students will not be able to schedule any appointments online for the rest of the semester. Students will still be able to use the TLC for study space and drop-in tutoring. Cancellations must be made online at least before your appointment is scheduled to begin. If students miss the cancellation deadline please make every effort to come to the appointment and avoid a missed appointment.

Two Ways to Cancel an Appointment

  1. Log on to MyTMCC, then the Online Scheduler
  2. Click on your appointment box in the schedule, it should be coded in yellow. At the bottom of the appointment window should be box to check that reads Cancel This Appointment. Check that box, then click on the Save Changes button.
  3. Once logged into the scheduler, you can click on Go to the Control Panel at the top of the screen. It will list all your upcoming appointments. On the right hand side, you may click on cancel for any appointment you wish to cancel. If the cancel feature is not available, it may be too late to cancel, so please make every effort to make your appointment. You may also call the Tutoring and Learning Center
