If you need to cancel a tutorial session, you must notify Mr. Sweeny at least 2 hours before the scheduled session.  Punctuality is also important.  The tutor will wait 10 minutes beyond the scheduled time.  If you do not arrive within that time, an unexcused absence will be marked on your record.  After 2 unexcused absences, tutoring for the subject is terminated.  Tutoring may also discontinue if there are a number
of cancellations.
