ASTS Usage Policy
Please review the ASTS Usage Policy before clicking agree on the registration form when asked.
Tutoring Session Policies:
- *NEW Tutoring Session Limits: I can schedule up to one appointment per day and up to 3 appointments per week. I acknowledge that the WCONLINE system will block my account from going over these limits.
- *NEW Course/Instructor Specific Sessions: I acknowledge that ASTS appointments are course-specific (and sometimes instructor-specific). Therefore, I will not falsify my course or instructor information when scheduling with an ASTS Tutor. Doing so will forfeit my appointment time and may lead to my account being disabled.
- ASTS-Covered Courses Only: I cannot ask for help in a course ASTS does not provide tutoring for. Doing so will forfeit my appointment time and may lead to my account being disabled.
- No Graded Assignments Work: I cannot ask my tutor to complete any homework or major course assignments for me and doing so may lead to my account being disabled.
- Tutor Expectations: I will respect the tutor’s expectations and boundaries during and outside of the tutoring session. This includes but is not limited to tutor’s choice in modality (in-person / virtual), scheduling day/time, and more.
- One-on-One’s / Group Tutoring: I acknowledge that other students may still join my appointment time. I cannot expect nor am I entitled to a one-on-one session if more than one person can join my tutoring session.
No-Show / Cancellation Policies:
- On-Time Arrival: I will consistently attend my sessions in a timely manner and inform my tutor if I will be late. If I am over 15 minutes late, the tutor has the right to cancel my session regardless if they were notified or not.
- Same-Day / Next-Day Appointments: I must email the tutor to request for a same-day or next day session and there is no guarantee I will receive it if the tutor is unable to.
- Student Cancellations: I must cancel my sessions in a timely manner (*NEW at least 5 hours) or contact my tutor to cancel the session for me or else I will receive a No-Show and my account will be possibly disabled. Three No-Shows result in my account being disabled.
- Tutor Cancellations: My sessions could be cancelled by the tutor anytime if I am not specific in terms of what I want out of the tutoring session (ex. putting "everything“, “Exam Review”, "Chapter 1" (Without including the name of the chapter or concept it covers), or asking for help on an assignment) and I do not specify that to my tutor prior to my session.
WCONLINE Account Policies:
- Bringing Students with no WCONLINE Account: If I bring other students who do not have an account they must make an account and I must inform my tutor prior to the session or my account may be disabled.
- Disabled Account: If my account is disabled, I must contact the tutorial coordinator to try to re-enable my account and not create a new account using a different email address or else that account will also be disabled.
- Multiple Accounts: I will not create multiple accounts on the ASTS website under a pseudo name/person or else my accounts will be disabled.
- Agreement to ASTS Policy: Not agreeing to any of these rules in the policy can lead to my account being disabled and me no longer being able to use ASTS services.
