We look forward to meeting with you! 

Live Help is a tutoring service staffed by professional tutors (they hold degrees in the subjects they tutor in, but are not familiar with specific Rasmussen courses and assignments) and they are available to help in a variety of topics. Some, like algebra tutors, are available 24/7. Live Help does not require an appointment and can be accessed during that subject's available times. Java, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS support are all available under Design in Live Help!
