Student Responsibilities
During your first tutoring session, your tutor will discuss our tutoring contract with you. This contract covers goals of tutoring, student responsibilities, and a tutor's responsibilities. Please pay close attention to the section detailing student responsiblities. Among other things, we do maintain an attendance policy. In particular:
- Contact your tutor or the LAC office no less than 24 hours in advance if you cannot attend a scheduled session.
- Students who miss a scheduled session without notifying their tutor or the LAC office will be marked as a "no-show."
- Students who have one no show will receive a reminder letter from the Assistant Director; students with two no-shows will be suspended from tutoring until they meet with the Assistant Director; students with three no-shows will be removed from tutoring for that particular course for the semester.
