When tutoring First-Year Composition students, all tutors in official UGA programs are bound by these guidelines. However, the students themselves are responsible for insuring that the help they receive is of an appropriate nature, conforms to their instructor’s expectations and policies, and satisfies UGA’s Academic Honesty Policy.
