Rules of the program
Please note that tutoring is for current active Wayne State University students. When scheduling a tutoring session for a course, the tutoring session should relate to that course. DO NOT schedule a tutoring session for one course, then ask for assistance for a different course. If you do, the tutor may not be able to assist you. Students are limited to one tutoring appointment per subject per day.
Students are allowed a 15-minute grace period for their tutoring appointment. After 15-minutes, the appointment is assumed to be a no-show, and the tutor may work with another student or leave the tutoring space, and the appointment will be marked as a 'no show' on the student's record.
Stand by Tutoring:
If you would like to be on standby on a given day when a tutor is available, please be in the tutoring area at the time of the appointment, and if an appointment is a 'no show' or any last-minute cancellations, you will be the first person to get the available appointment. Sometimes, only given permission from the student with the appointment, standby students can join the tutoring session if it is for the same course.
If you have scheduling concerns or special needs, or if you can not make it to your tutoring appointment for legitimate reasons to avoid any penalty, please text or call our google line, 313-451-0413.
