How Many Minutes Does a Student Receive for Brainfuse? 
Good question! All students are advanced three hours (180 minutes) at the beginning of each semester for live tutoring as well as service time for up to four asynchronous paper review sessions. We ask students to use their time strategically by being ready with questions when they start a live session or by only submitting an essay once until they get initial feedback.
If students surpass the provided time, they can write to tutoring@spcollege.edu requesting more minutes. A staff member will review the account, ensure the student is using the system properly, and give suggestions if necessary on getting the most out of the minutes available.
While we wish we could provide unlimited minutes to our students, we are financially limited and do our best to distribute the service to as many students as possible.
