Drop-In Tutoring On Microsoft Teams

The ASC offers access to ASC tutors remotely via Microsoft Teams (MS Teams). If you want to participate, please make sure you have a working microphone on your device and follow the steps below. MS Teams is part of Office 365, so every BC student has access to this product for free.
