LEARNING CENTER POLICIES

TUTORING SESSIONS

Students may schedule up to 3 tutoring appointments per week in any combination of face-to-face sessions and Online Writing Lab submissions.  In-person tutoring appointments are 50 minutes in length.  Please note that students may not schedule more than one appointment with the same tutor on the same day

Tutors are not substitutes for professors and cannot teach the entire contents of course lectures during tutoring sessions.  Tutoring sessions are not substitutes for attending class, taking notes during class, completing homework assignments, studying, and seeking help from the professor when necessary. 

A student who needs help in a course outside of our tutoring subjects, or who is in danger of failing a course, should use multiple strategies for remediation including contacting the course instructor, attending all study sessions offered, meeting with the learning assistant (when applicable), completing all course assignments, and studying independently. 

LEARNING CENTER FACILITIES

Students are to use the Learning Center facilities for tutoring and testing appointments only.  If the facility is otherwise unoccupied, students may seek permission from Learning Center staff to use the Learning Center as a quiet workspace (10am - 4:30pm, Mondays - Fridays).

COMMUNITY STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

Students who use Learning Center services and facilities are expected to adhere to Learning Center policies, observe the Community Standards of Conduct, and behave in a professional and respectful manner. 

Students who do not meet these expectations may be referred to the Office of Community Standards and may lose Learning Center privileges. 

If you have any questions about Learning Center policies, please do not hesitate to contact us at learning@purchase.edu or 914-251-3997.
