WHTC Appointment Policies
The Writing & Humanities Tutoring Center offers free writing, reading, foreign language, and ESL tutoring to all currently enrolled students at OCC as well as assistance other topics in the Social and Behavioral Sciences and accounting.
Students can receive up to 4 hours per week of tutoring, and students are limited to three appointments per day.
Making Appointments
- All students must register for the free, non-credit TUTR050N to utilize all services at the three tutoring centers, including the Writing & Humanities Tutoring Center (WHTC).
- Appointments can be made online or in person at the WHTC front desk.
- Appointments can be made up to one week in advance and, if there is availability, within 15 minutes of an appointment start time.
- Students can receive up to four hours of tutoring each week.
- Students can make up to three appointments per day; however, because our goal is for students to learn with tutors and apply what they learned independently, we recommend varying the topic of same-day tutoring sessions.
Attendance, Cancellation, & No-Show Policy
- Students must cancel all appointments they are no longer planning to attend. You can cancel your own appointments online up to two hours prior to the appointment start time. Within two hours of the appointment, please call the front desk to cancel.
- Students who fail to cancel an appointment will be considered a "No Show" and lose their ability to schedule appointments.
- Because no-shows impact both other students and tutors, the WHTC has a zero tolerance policy for them. Once marked as “no-show” (i.e., after missing one appointment without canceling in advance), students need to come to the front desk to schedule a same-day appointment if they are available.
If you have any questions or concerns, please visit the WHTC front desk or email the writingtutoringcenter@occ.cccd.edu
