Can a student get suspended from using the Writing Centre 🔹 What happens if I miss too many writing appointments 🔹 Can I lose access if I’m rude to a tutor

Yes — students can be suspended from using the Writing Centre under certain circumstances.

You may lose access if you:

  • ❌ Repeatedly miss scheduled appointments without canceling

  • ❌ Harass or disrespect tutors or staff

If this happens, your access to the Writing Centre will be temporarily suspended. To have it reinstated, you’ll need to:

  • Contact the Coordinator of the Writing Centre

  • Show that the behaviour has stopped

  • In some cases, offer a formal apology

The Writing Centre is a respectful, inclusive space where everyone is expected to treat tutors and staff with courtesy. These policies help protect that environment and ensure that all students can benefit from the service.

📘 Helpful Definitions:

  • Suspension: Temporary removal of access to a service due to policy violations

  • Coordinator: The person who oversees the Writing Centre and manages tutor conduct and student access

  • Harassment: Any behaviour that makes someone feel unsafe, disrespected, or uncomfortable
