Need Help?

The CSSL is located at 226 MacQuarrie Hall. Free tutoring is provided on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, 12 pm - 5 pm (except for holidays when the campus is closed). Students taking CS courses, especially CS46A, CS46B, CS131, CS146, and CS151, are encouraged to meet with the tutors to study, get help, join study groups, get advice, or help out.

An appointment for tutoring is required and can be scheduled between 7 days and 24 hours before the desired time slot. Each slot is facilitated by two tutors, affording the flexibility to select either. To ensure equitable access for all students, please limit your bookings to no more than 2 slots per day; additional bookings may be subject to cancellation. While walk-in is accepted, the availability of an on-site tutor cannot be guaranteed.
