Meet with a Tutor
The Learning Center offers free in-person (NQ 350) and online (Zoom) tutoring for Ball State students for many different courses on campus. We update our list each semester (and throughout the semester). Courses are limited during the summer.
Tutoring appointments are available at a variety of times throughout the week. Students can make their own appointments and check appointment availability using Navigate. For further assistance or instruction on booking a tutor with Navigate, please read our written instructions, or you can view our video on how to make an appointment.
