Summer 21 Academic Support Services

How do I navigate the Academic Support (Tutors) tab?

Each consultant has the following listed:

• Their name and preferred pronouns. 
• A picture.
• Academic topics that they specialize in.
• Specific courses they specialize in. 
• A specified link to schedule an online consulting session. 

How do I set up an appointment? 

You may use the following steps to set up an appointment. 

• Locate the subject area or specific tutor you wish to set up an appointment for. 
• Click on the link available underneath their biography. 
• You will navigate to a Google Calendar. On this calendar will be available time slots to schedule an appointment. 
• LEASE BE SURE YOU ARE LOGGED INTO YOUR x500. Otherwise you will not be able to schedule your appointment.
• Click on a time that works best for you. Then click on the save button. Your MCAE academic consultant will communicate with you before your appointment. 
• Before your scheduled appointment, please fill out this FORM. 

I haven’t received anything from my academic consultant or the Zoom link is not working.

There are three steps you can take. 

• At the top of the “Academic Support (Tutors)” tab, there is a drop-in zoom link, z.umn.edu/mcaetutorsupport. There will be at least one academic consultant in that zoom link for immediate assistance. 
• If by chance there is no one available in the link to provide assistance, please visit the regular MCAE office hours located on our homepage. 
• If neither of those links are working, please contact mcae@umn.edu.
