as it is signed.

Step 3: Tutor and Student Log
• To maximize tutorial time, the tutor sign-in and student roster have been combined into one
document.

more information.
• This log must be submitted to the campus principal once completed.

All other sections of the form can be completed by the tutor.
This log should be completed for each new tutorial session.

more information.

determined by both parties.
