Schedule Your Appointment

1. From your homepage, select the “Appointments” link from the menu on the left. You will be brought to the Appointments page.
2. Select the blue “Schedule an Appointment” button located at the upper left corner of the page. You will be brought to the New Appointment page.
3. From the New Appointments page, select the following items from the dropdown menus.
   1. What type of appointment would you like to schedule?
      1. Select – “Peer Tutoring” from the dropdown menu.
      2. If you do not see Peer Tutoring in the dropdown menu, it most likely means the tutor has not put their schedule on Navigate yet, or we do not currently have a tutor for courses you are registered in. Please email tutor@salemstate.edu. There may be other tutoring options we can refer you to, such as the Math Lab, Cabot Lab, or Writing Center.
