Policies and Guidelines

Lab Policies

• Free tutoring is provided on a walk-in basis for students enrolled in selected courses during the fall and spring semesters.
• The lab is open on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. during the semester. Lab hours are revised during study period/final exams to reflect the exam schedule of the supported courses.
• At least two tutors are present during service hours.
• Meetings are held on a bi-monthly basis from the beginning of the semester.

Tutors Responsibilities

All tutors shall display absolute professionalism during lab hours.

1. Arrive for respective shifts at 5:45 p.m.
2. Be prepared for your shift by having already reviewed material as reported in the previous meeting.
3. Discuss relative concepts, topics and parallel problems with students rather than providing answers to specific homework problems, projects and take-home exams.
4. During slow lab hours or when students are not present, use the time to:
   • Review supported course related material.
   • Review/practice MiniTab or DataDesk software.
   • Limit your computer use to email and school work and not instant messaging and other forms of entertainment.
5. Return the room to its original state and secure the lab and equipment at the end of your shift.
6. Attend all meetings and prepare a liaison report of related topics, homework due dates, projects and prelims.

Substitutions should be limited throughout the semester. Tutors must give the entire staff ample advance notice of his/her need of a sub.

Class visits are required two times per semester.
