Where does online tutoring take place and how can I prepare?

-
What is considered “excessive” cancellations?
Excessive cancellations are when a student cancels on time 2 consecutive or three total times for one course. Cancellations may be for various reasons (i.e., no new material, illness, out-of-town, etc.). If you are found to have "excessive" cancellations, you will be dropped from your appointments for that course.

If you have questions or concerns about the guidelines regarding student-athletes and tutoring, please reach out to the Athletics Learning Specialist.
