Online PPC Appointments

Once you've scheduled an online PPC appointment, you will receive an email on the day of your appointment with a Zoom link to begin a live tutoring session. A tutor will help you with any stage of the speech-making process you need help with and answer your questions.

On-campus PPC Appointments

When you schedule an appointment with an on-campus PPC tutor, you will receive a confirmation email to remind you of the appointment. At the time of your appointment, check in at the front desk in Chap #212 and #213. Be sure to stamp a punch card. Your tutor will guide you to a reserved classroom to help you with your speech.
