- Example:
One-on-one tutoring sessions can be booked 2-14 days in advance. For example, Mr. Johnson wants to make an appointment on January 15th. The furthest date he can book the session from is January 1st, and the nearest date he can book the session from is January 13th. - 3 sessions at most can be booked per person per day.
- Cancellation of an appointment is only allowed in the case of an emergency. If there is an emergency, students should notify the center by phone immediately (02-7749-5903) or sending emails first (calntnu101@gmail.com) if it’s out of office hours and phone the center right after when it’s in office hours. Cancellation without notifying the center or within three days before the appointment date will be marked “missed” and student marked “missed” will be locked out of our scheduling system and unable to make future appointments for the next 1 month (excluding summer and winter breaks).
Valid Applicants
- Students (including postdoctoral researchers) and administrative staff at NTNU; students at NTU or NTUST currently taking EMI courses at NTNU
