- Students are allowed up to three appointments per week.
- If you need to cancel or reschedule, please email ahead of time so that we may open up your appointment for another student.
Tutoring sessions are most effective when students show up on time and are ready to work with their tutor. The Center for Academic Success' policy regarding tardiness is as follows:
- If students are later than 5 minutes, they will maintain their original appointment.
- If students are later than 10 minutes, CAS staff will ask the tutor if, in the remaining time, they will be able to conduct an effective session.
- If students are later than 15 minutes, they will need to reschedule their appointment for another time.
For students registered with the Office of Students with Disabilities (OSD):
