Policies

Appointments  

Undergraduate students can make 2 appointments per week.
Graduate students can make 1 appointment per week, up to 8 appointments per semester.

Drop-ins

The writing center takes walk in appointments as we have staff available. We will not take a walk-in more than 30 minutes into the hour. To guarantee yourself an appointment, reserve an appointment on our schedule.

No Shows

If you are more than 20 minutes late for your appointment, your appointment will be cancelled. In our scheduling system, if you No Show to 3 appointments, your account will be locked and you must contact the director  to ask that your account be re-opened. 

Exam Writing

The writing center cannot assist with take home exams because it is difficult to ascertain if a faculty member is okay with collaboration on the exam. We can always, however, talk with a writer about a piece after you’ve received a grade and feedback from your instructor, helping you consider lessons to be learned for future writing. 

Printing

Printing your paper before you arrive for your appointment allows you to take full advantage of your conference time. Please make every effort to arrive at the writing center with two printed copies of your paper.
