If you cannot attend an outdoor adventure after purchasing a ticket, unfortunately, there is no refund. There are no exceptions to this policy. If you purchase a ticket and are unable to make it, you may sell your ticket to another current BYUI student or spouse of a student to recoup your expenses. However, Outdoor Activities should be notified so the new participant can receive important trip updates.

If an outdoor adventure is canceled due to low ticket sales, poor weather, natural disasters, or other states of emergency, then tickets will be refunded to the credit card they were paid with.

We will do our best to make sure you are dressed appropriately for an activity. However, if the current weather is below your personal minimum and you choose not to attend, there are no refunds.

If you have concerns or questions regarding an event, please feel free to speak with one of our Outdoor Activity advisors at 208-496-7300.

New Student Peer Mentoring | Student Guide | BYU-Idaho

# New Student Peer Mentoring

## What is New Student Mentoring?

The New Student Mentoring Program is designed to assist incoming students in their transition to college by pairing them with experienced students. New students will have increased access to academic, campus, and social resources through their mentors.

## How Does It Work?

First-semester students will meet their mentors when they attend New Student Orientation. During orientation, students gain valuable information about campus and the atmosphere of BYU-Idaho. They will have opportunities to make friends and begin meaningful relationships with their peers and mentors.

After New Student Orientation, the semester officially starts, and the demands and expectations of college life begin. New student mentors will continue to support, help, and be a great resource for students throughout their first year!

Questions About the Writing Center | Student Guide | BYU-Idaho

# Questions About the Writing Center

## About the Writing Center

The BYU-Idaho Writing Center is separate from the Tutoring Center. There is no need to swipe your I-card to visit the Writing Center. Your tutor will record your attendance.

No. Some Writing Center employees are English majors, but others are specializing in other academic areas. Being an English major is not a requirement to work at the Writing Center.

No. The Writing Center can work with students to help their assignments meet instructor guidelines, but Writing Center tutors cannot guarantee you an "A" on your assignment.

The Writing Center will give you a signed note that you can present to your teacher. It is best if you come to the Writing Center with the goal to improve your paper or assignment. If you come only because it is a requirement, the tutoring session will not be productive. Student who come to the Writing Center unprepared or unwilling to put in the work will not receive a signed note for their teachers. Academic honesty is taken seriously at the Writing Center. You are expected to put in effort. Become a confident writer by taking this valuable opportunity to get help.

## Preparing for Your Visit

Come prepared with: 

- Specific questions about your assignment
- A hard copy of your assignment
- A willingness to make changes
- Enough time before the assignment is due to make changes
- 20-30 minutes of time to review your assignment

No. The BYU-Idaho Writing Center can help you with resumes, cover letters, letters of introduction (for student teaching and graduate school applications), and creative works.

Give yourself enough time to make any necessary changes to improve your assignment. At the minimum, a few hours before class will work, but it is best if you give yourself at least a day or two before the assignment due date.

No. Since on-campus students can come to the Writing Center in-person, online sessions are reserved strictly for off-campus students.

## About Tutoring Sessions

Tutoring sessions are 30 minutes. If there are minor concerns about an assignment, the tutoring session might be less. If you feel you need more than 30 minutes, the tutor can schedule a follow-up appointment with you for the next day. International students are allowed between 30-45-minute sessions due to language concerns.

Keep in mind that Writing Center tutors are your peers--other BYU-Idaho students with experience in writing papers for college classes. Your tutor might not be familiar with the specifics of your assignment or an instructor's particular expectations; therefore, the tutor's comments should be received as **suggestions**. Always defer to the advice of your instructor. Remember that the paper you are writing is yours; you take full responsibility for any revisions you choose to make in your final draft.

Myth #1

Myth #2

Assessments limit your choices.

Assessments can help you find a starting point to explore options. Your assessment results do not put you in a box or tell you what you should and should not do.

Assessments are not valid or reliable. 
 
****Fact**** 
Most assessments have years of research and study behind them. If you take the opportunity to answer questions honestly, you are likely to get valid and reliable results.
