Schedule a Visit:
Welcome to in-person tutoring services at the Learning Center! Current SUNY Poly undergraduate students can schedule up to three 1-hour tutoring sessions per week for each of their classes we offer tutoring. You may not schedule more than one appointment for the same course on the same day.
Log into TracCloud at tutoring.sunypoly.edu (use the same credentials used for your email, Banner, and Brightspace accounts)
Under ‘Schedule a Tutoring Appointment’ select your class and Search (if the class is not listed here the LC does not have tutoring available for it).
All available appointments for the following two weeks will be available for you to select from.
You must enter the topic(s) you wish to review in the Notes field. Do not list generic information such as “Homework”, “Test review”, “Chapter 6”, etc. because our tutors do not know what this includes. Instead, use “Factoring”, “For Loops”
You will receive a confirmation email with the tutor’s email address when you submit the appointment request.
For Online Students
Online tutoring for students enrolled in online programs or online courses is available through a third-party provider called Brainfuse. Tutoring with Brainfuse may also be available for a class the Learning Center does not provide – please contact the LC for more information.
Students are limited to 5 hours of tutoring per week with Brainfuse and the service is free.
Access Brainfuse through your class Brightspace shell under the More drop-down menu on the Navigation Bar.
