Tutoring Center Policy
- All tutoring appointments are scheduled through our online scheduler, WCONLINE. Students will need to use their Southern email address to create an account and log in.
- Students may schedule either an online Zoom appointment or a face-to-face appointment.
- All tutoring appointments need to be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.
- Tutoring appointments are usually 50 minutes in length.
- Students may schedule up to five appointments per week.
- Scheduled tutoring sessions take place in the Tutoring Center, as well as other public locations on campus.
- Students are expected to come prepared for the tutoring session with a textbook, syllabus, notes, assignment sheet, and any other necessary materials.
- Tutors are not permitted to complete homework assignments, quizzes, tests, or online assignments with or for students.
- Students who need to cancel a scheduled tutoring appointment must do so at least 24 hours in advance. If a student asks that an appointment be canceled on the day of the appointment, the student will be marked as a no show.
- If a student is more than 15 minutes late to an appointment, the student will be marked as a no show.
- If a student is marked as a no show three times, the student’s WCONLINE account will be disabled. The student will need to speak with the director or office manager to get the account reactivated.
- After each appointment, the tutor will complete a report of the appointment. The student will receive an emailed copy of this report. The student can request that the report also be sent to a professor.
- In an effort to ensure the quality of our tutor programming, after each appointment, students will be asked to complete a short survey to request anonymous feedback on their tutoring experience.
