Policies

  • Students must abide by the college’s policies on academic honesty, which includes – Tutors are not allowed to go beyond the scope of tutoring and complete graded work that is to be done by the tutee. If approached, this situation must be reported to the Tutoring Coordinator.
  • Students should come prepared to the tutoring session. Not only does this mean bringing all the required materials, such as the textbook, workbook, handouts, etc. but also taking the time to read the given material and attempt any homework.
