If the reporter reports to an assignment and the student fails to show, the reporter must wait fifteen minutes to confirm the no-show. Services are not to be provided to a student who does not attend class, unless specific approval has been obtained in advance from the Office of the Dean of Students. Prompt reporting is necessary in order for the Office of the Dean of Students to monitor the attendance of students using auxiliary services. In addition, reporters should notify the Coordinator in the event of student' habitual inattentiveness. The Coordinator will make every effort to contact the reporter regarding a cancellation as soon as possible.
Reporters are responsible for insuring that they can be reached via answering machine, pager, etc.
If reasonable and documented attempts are made to contact the reporter, and if those attempts are unsuccessful, Purdue University will not be responsible for payment. Reporters are in class to facilitate effective communication among the student, faculty, and classmates. Reporters are not to participate in class discussions. In a class that does not require continuous reporting, the reporter must nevertheless be prepared at all times to attend to the student's needs. Reporters are expected to develop a class dictionary before the semester begins.
