New tracking procedures will allow instructors and TA's to:

• access a student's Lab hours at any point during the semester
• print or view reports by section number verifying a student's total hours and/or the specific dates and times the student completed the hours
• view a current class roster
• view dropped students
• enter retroactive student hours

Upon entering the Lab students should be instructed to:

1. visit: http://positive/positive/ on any computer in LC 110 or BC 101
2. enter their Student 1D (SS#)
3. work with a tutor as usual

Upon exiting the lab students should be instructed to:

• Keep their own record of Lab attendance--a sheet of paper indicating date, time and a tutor's signature for verification

1. Visit http://positive/positive/
2. Enter the Department Password (which will be updated each semester); For access to department passwords, please contact the Department Secretary, Helen Psaila, at  415 . 485 . 9348
3. Click on the appropriate link.

• Please remember to remind students in your classes and in the Lab to keep their own record of hours by acquiring a  tutor's signature as they leave the lab as proof of their attendance. This will also help to insure that the student will stay for the entire session.

• We will have a binder in Room LC 110 and in Room BC 101 for students to sign who are not enrolled in English 120 or 98. We will need this data to argue for the implementation of a campus-wide Writing Center.

• The department has agreed to allow colleagues working in the lab to update a student's retroactive hours as necessary, so any student with proof of attendance in hand--a document including a tutor's signature, date and time, for example--may ask a T.A. or an instructor in the lab to update his/her Lab Hours on the computer. However, if a T.A. or instructor cannot verify that a student has, in fact, completed the hours, the student should be directed to their instructor for help.
