• All appointments are scheduled through our on-line appointment system, TutorTrac: Learning Center, accessible through My LB Single Sign On.
• Appointments are scheduled at least twenty-four hours in advance. You may schedule up to three, 50 minute sessions per week.
• Tutoring is a limited resource. For this reason, although you have up to three sessions per week, we ask that you only schedule one session per day, per tutor and/or subject. If you schedule more than one appointment with the same tutor, or for the same subject, we may cancel additional appointments depending on program needs. This is up to the discretion of the Tutor Coordinator.
• Please keep track of your appointments. You are responsible for keeping the appointments you make.
• All students are granted one excused appointment per term. If you cancel an appointment less than two hours ahead of time, or miss another appointment after you've had one appointment excused, you will lose tutoring privileges for two weeks. This automatically happens after the second no show appointment, or late cancellation. Your privileges will be restored one week from the date of your missed appointment. You can ask the Tutor Coordinator for the date you will be able to make appointments again.
• Please make every effort to limit your cancellations. Your tutor has made a commitment to be there for you, and the cancellation may occur too late to be filled by another student.
• If you must cancel an appointment, do so at least two hours ahead of the appointment time, preferably twenty-four. Ways to cancel your appointment:
  
  1) On-line, using TutorTrac: Learning Center, accessible through My LB Single Sign On
  2) Email the Learning Center Information at learningcenterinfo@al10669.com.

Your tutor's expectations:

• You are going to class. This is a requirement to continue being tutored. Your instructor may be notified so we can get feedback on your class attendance and progress.
• Be prepared when you see your tutor. Do your homework first.
• Bring your textbook, notes, and calculator. Know what you want help with.
• Don't expect answers. Your tutor will help you understand concepts so you can get answers yourself. This is the most effective form of learning support.
• Be patient with your tutor and with yourself. Some problems are not easily solved.

Your tutor will:

• Clarify information presented in class or in your textbook.
• Help you develop effective study skills.
• Model problem-solving techniques, and then have you try them.
• Offer encouragement as you learn to understand difficult concepts.
• Model critical thinking strategies in the discipline you are studying. They will help you learn how to utilize your text, notes, and additional resources so you are able to problem-solve and find the answers on your own.

Your tutor won't:

• Do your homework!
• Give you the answers.
• Take the place of your instructor.
• Help you with take-home tests.
• 'Rescue' you if you miss classes.
• Help you during their own study time. You must have an appointment.
