What We Do and Don’t Do

Grades: While you may see an improvement and earn better grades, we can’t guarantee your grades. Your work is your responsibility.
Integrity: Our tutors may raise concerns about academic integrity, but it’s up to you to turn in honest and original work.
Group Work: For group projects, all members must be present during the session.

You’re allowed 180 minutes of appointments per week, with a maximum of two per day (no back-to-back sessions allowed).
