How do I make an appointment?

You can either scan our QR code or click the button below to get started. You will then fill out our appointment form. You can choose one or two time slots. Writing Center appointments are 30 minutes long, but—if we are not busy—we can accept hour long sessions.

Walk-ins are welcome, but there is no guarantee that a spot will be available.

Take a look!

How do I prepare for an appointment?

First, find the assignment sheet that your instructor provided.

Second, have any writing that you have done ready to show your writing coach. (If you have not started writing, that is okay! It is not required. We can help you brainstorm and organize.)

Third, prepare the questions and concerns that you have for your coach.

Fourth, be ready to take notes on your laptop, tablet, or notebook.

Fifth, plan to be just a little early to guarantee that you can use the whole appointment.

If you are 7+ minutes late to your appointment, then it may be canceled.
