In a Blackboard online tutoring appointment, the tutor will work with you asynchronously (not at the same time). The CTL will create a Blackboard group page for you and the tutor for two different times: one time to post student materials and a second time for the tutor to complete their comments about the assignment. Once the CTL has given you an appointment time, follow the steps below before your appointment time.
