ESARS for Appointments with the OLC

SWC faculty and staff now have the option to book online appointments with the OLC through ESARS. ESARS is an online platform that SWC students use to book Tutoring appointments and more! The OLC is excited to present this assistance option to faculty and staff.

Tip! You'll want to bookmark the ESARS interface link on your computer for quick reference in the future. The link is also located in the Canvas Help menu so you can easily make an appointment while using Canvas.
