LEARNING CENTER STUDENT EXPECTATIONS

  • When in an online tutoring appointment, we cannot require you to turn on the camera, but it does help us both to have better communication.
  • When in an appointment either online or in person, please stay off of your phone and fully engaged during the session.
  • Tutoring is not a replacement for attending class.
  • Please attempt your assignment before meeting with a tutor.
  • Please bring all relevant materials to the session (textbook, syllabus, etc.).
  • Please cancel your appointment before the start time if you cannot attend.
  • Your tutor will wait for 15 minutes for you to show up for your appointment. After that, unfortunately we will have to mark you as a no-show.
  • Three no shows will mean you will be unable to schedule any more appointments the rest of the semester. You may still use walk in services.
  • Please talk at a low volume, and be mindful of music volume when listening with earbuds.
