CELL PHONE USAGE

GROUP ROOMS

CHILDREN

The Academic Success Center does allow students to bring children into the Academic Success Center; however, it is not a child care venue while students attend classes or tutoring sessions, take tests, etc. No children will be allowed in the Academic Success Center without direct parental supervision. If children are causing a disruption or destroying equipment, the Academic Success Center reserves the right to ban the children from the premises. Additionally, if children are using equipment or computers needed by students, then they will be asked to move.

APPOINTMENT CANCELLATION

If you are unable to attend an appointment, we ask that you cancel it 24 hours in advance, or as soon as possible.  This is so we may let the tutors know ahead of time.

Please call 419-824-3748 to cancel as soon as possible.  Thank you for your cooperation.

TUTORING SERVICES

Tutoring services may not always be available for all courses, or at every hour the Academic Success Center is open, but every effort will be made to accommodate students’ needs.

Academic Success Center tutors will NOT assist students with ANY graded assignments (take home exams, etc.) with no exceptions.

Students who miss more than 3 tutoring sessions may be denied tutoring services for the remainder of the semester.

Tutoring will be discontinued if students fail to attend classes regularly.

The Academic Success Center does not provide tutoring to any students (Lourdes or otherwise) who are taking courses offered at other institutions of higher education. Tutors are required to ONLY tutor current Lourdes students enrolled in and actively taking Lourdes courses.
