Cancellation & No Show Guidelines 

  • Students are responsible for canceling their own appointments. All students can cancel an individual appointment by logging onto WC Online. 
  • Students can cancel up to 3 hours in advance. Anything less than 3 hour notice will be considered a "no-show." 
  • If a student has 3 "no-shows" (aka three missed appointments), the student's WC Online account will be locked. As long as they are not in the same course, a LARC staff member will notify the student and unlock the account. 
  • If a student misses three sessions of the SAME COURSE (e.g. three BIO 110 sessions), the rest of the schedule will be cancelled and a students account will remain locked. 
  • We at the LARC try to provide flexibility to students by allowing cancellations up to 3 hours in advance. We prefer that students stay home if they are feeling ill. If an emergency arises (e.g. illness that required a doctor's visit, car accident, funeral, etc.), please reach out to LARC staff and discuss having the appointment cancelled after the fact. HOWEVER, same day cancellations should be rare and reserved for illness or other emergency. 
  • If a student cancels same day 3 times, the account will be locked and LARC staff will reach out to see if the student still wants tutoring for that course. 
  • If a student cancels same day 4 times, they will lose the weekly tutoring appointment but can still make individual appointments when needed.
