POLICIES
- Please note that you must schedule a tutoring appointment at least 24 hours before the appointment time. This is out of fairness to our tutors as they need time to prepare for appointments.
- Tutees are expected to come to peer tutoring sessions prepared with questions and a clear goal for the tutoring sessions.
- Tutors do not have access to the answers for assignments and are not permitted to check answers or do full graded problems/assignments for tutees.
- Tutees must arrive on time for tutoring. If a tutee arrives late, tutors are not required to make up the missed time.
- The Writing and Communication Center is not a proofreading service. The tutors will not “fix” students’ grammar problems nor rewrite portions of their papers. They will explain the areas of writing and editing students have problems with, guide them through appropriate exercises if necessary, and supervise them as they locate and correct errors in their papers.
- Students must cancel their appointment 24 hours prior to appointment start time.
- Students who miss two scheduled appointments (either by not showing up or by cancelling with less than 24 hours’ notice) within a two week period will lose access to participating in the Tutoring program for two weeks.
- Students who have not arrived within 15 minutes of the appointment start time will be marked as a no-show.
All tutors and tutees are expected to abide by the College’s policies on academic integrity as outlined in the College Catalog.
Tutors may use homework problems as reference during tutoring sessions, but they will not assist tutees on homework directly. Instead, tutors will review concepts and may work on practice problems like those commonly assigned as homework and on exams. Specific homework help should be sought out with the course instructor.
All Tutors (when they are acting in their tutoring role) are considered “Responsible Employees” with regards to Title IX disclosures. If within the context of the tutoring relationship, a tutee discloses information about an incident of sexual or gender-based harassment, including sexual assault, SoLAcc Tutors have a responsibility to share that information with the Title IX Resource Coordinator.
Tutoring is protected by The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
