Herbst Academic Center Tutoring Policies

  • All tutor sessions will take place in the Herbst Academic Center Study Hall areas.  A meeting at a satellite location may only occur with pre-authorization of the Tutor Coordinator Corey Edwards.  This will be a rare exception.
  • All tutor sessions will run from one to one and a half hours in length.  If a student requests a longer meeting time, please ask them to schedule an additional session.
  • If you as a tutor are required to cancel or reschedule a tutor appointment, please do so with the person who scheduled the appointment with you.  In the case of Tier 1 students (those at greater academic risk) appointments are generally made by the Academic Coordinator.  Tier 2 and 3 students may schedule their own tutor appointments directly with the tutor.
  • If a student-athlete does not show up for a tutor appointment within 15 minutes of the scheduled time, please complete a GÇ£No ShowGÇ¥ form.  Put that 15 minutes on your time sheet and we will pay you for the 15 minutes.  You are not required to wait any longer for the student nor will you be paid beyond the fifteen minutes.
  • Herbst Academic Center policy states that if a student-athlete misses two tutor appointments they are suspended from future tutoring services until a meeting has occurred with the student, Head Coach, Academic Coordinator and Kris Livingston, Director of the Herbst Academic Center.  A plan for further support will be created at that time.
  • Please do not engage with Student-Athletes in individual GÇ£contracts for payGÇ¥ for services rendered outside of the scope of your employment with the Athletics Department.
Reporting of Academic Dishonesty

In addition to the UniversityGÇÖs Code of Conduct, the Athletics Department maintains a policy of its own regarding the reporting of academic dishonesty in which a tutor is involved.  It states:

Any observations or accusations of suspected academic dishonesty by a tutor employed for student-athletes at the Herbst Academic Center should be reported immediately to an Academic Coordinator or to the Tutor Coordinator.  The Coordinator will consult with the Director of the Herbst Academic Center to determine the appropriate course of action (i.e. interviews with the involved parties, no action taken, possible tutor reassignment, termination, report of incident to the Student Judicial Affairs Office).  If there is no credible evidence of academic dishonesty, the tutor will retain employment at the Herbst Academic Center.  However, on the conclusion that there is credible evidence of academic dishonesty, student employees will be terminated and reported to Student Judicial Affairs.  On-call employees will be terminated.  Furthermore, instances of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Faculty Athletics Representative.

Any questions regarding these policies or the Student Code of Conduct should be directed to Kris Livingston, Director of the Herbst Academic Center.  Please note:  any form of academic dishonesty is a serious matter and will be treated as such by the Herbst Academic Center.
