Program for Academic Advancement Participant Contract

As a participant of the Program for Academic Advancement:

1. I agree to attend classes regularly. I understand that regular classroom attendance is defined by PAA as having no more than three unexcused absences in any course during the quarter.

2. I agree to keep all appointments I make with PAA staff: the Director, Advisor, Tutor Coordinator, Tutors, or Peer Mentors. If I cannot attend the appointment, I agree to call in advance to reschedule. I understand that if I miss three or more appointments without calling in advance to reschedule, I risk losing program services.

3. I agree to work with the Advisor to develop a complete and workable academic plan which is necessary for furthering my education. If I find the plan should change or a class should be dropped, I will meet, call, email, or write PAA to make the necessary change.

4. I agree to attend any study skills workshops, counseling sessions, tutoring sessions, cultural events or other activities that the staff and I agree are most beneficial to my success at Fort Lewis College.

5. I agree that if I sign up for tutoring, I will meet my tutor two times a week, for at least one hour each session. I agree to inform my tutor and the tutor coordinator if I decide to terminate my tutoring.

6. I agree to treat all staff, tutors and peer mentors with respect and civility as described in the Fort Lewis College Student Conduct Code.

7. I understand that PAA services will be stopped and I will have to renegotiate this contract if I do not keep the agreements I have made in this contract.
