Peer Tutoring: Program Expectations

As a student participating in the Peer Tutoring Program, I will meet the following expectations:

• I allow the release of my College email to other students in the Peer Tutoring program.
• I will be on time and be prepared for my scheduled tutoring session(s).
• I will respect the time of my peer and will provide a minimum of 3 hours notice in advance if I must cancel my appointment.
• LEARNER: I will NOT expect homework to be completed by the Tutor as this is considered Student Academic Misconduct.
• TUTOR: I will NOT complete any homework for the Learner as this is considered Student Academic Misconduct.
• I will check my Niagara College email account regularly for messages and updates.
• I will accurately report appointments on my pay sheet or online client report form and understand that any falsified hours will result in removal from the Peer Tutoring Program.
• I will keep the Peer Tutoring Coordinator informed of any issues that may arise between tutor and learner.

Professionalism must be maintained during online appointments and behavioural expectations are the same as on-campus appointments. All students must comply with the following:

• Tutors must adhere to codes of Professional Behaviour and Respect in the Workplace, as outlined in the NC Employee Code of Conduct.
• Learners must adhere to all aspects of the NC Student Code of Conduct
• All parties must follow the NC Academic Honesty Policy.

Professionalism during online appointments is required and all policies and program expectations must be followed.
