WTS is now open for the semester!

WTS is open for both in-person and online appointments.

In accordance with Indiana University's response to Covid-19, all students (regardless of vaccination status) who choose in-person appointments will need to wear a mask. If you are not comfortable wearing a mask during your tutorial, please choose an online appointment.

For a list of in-person locations and hours, please see our locations & hours page.

Please note the following if you choose an online appointment: 45-minute online tutorials will be offered through Zoom. Visit our online tutoring page for more information about scheduling and participating in an online tutorial. To make an online appointment, you will visit our schedule and login as usual. After you make an appointment, you will receive an e-mail from your tutor with a Zoom link and password that you can use to access your tutorial. We will e-mail this information to you at least an hour before your appointment. Please be sure that you have opted-in to receiving e-mails from us. If you don’t receive the e-mail, please return to your appointment in the schedule or e-mail us at wts@indiana.edu.
