One-on-one appointments are an opportunity for writers to connect with a peer tutor and discuss their writing. The Writing Center offers one-on-one tutoring for student writers of all disciplines, from first year to advanced graduate degree, at any stage of the writing process.  

No! We try to have a walk-in tutor available throughout the day at all of our locations. However, during busier points in the semester, it’s better to make an appointment in advance, as walk-ins are first-come-first-served. Students can make appointments by going to the Writing Center homepage and clicking "Schedule a Session." They will need to make an account on WCOnline, our online scheduling platform, and from there they can select a time slot that works for them. 

Yes! Writers can meet with a tutor in person OR online. To book an online session, they simply need to follow the same steps on WCOnline as they would for booking an in-person session and select “Yes. Schedule Online appointment” in the box with the heading “Meet Online?” in the Create New Appointment window. 

Our tutors are also available to work with groups on collaborative writing projects. We offer in-person and online group appointments; however, online group appointments need to be booked 48 hours in advance, as these require a little more planning and coordination.    

If you would like proof that your students worked with the Writing Center, ask students to share their “session notes” with you. After each tutoring session, our tutors email notes to the writer summarizing their conversation, outlining students’ revision plans, and/or providing additional resources. The email will include the date and time of the appointment. Your students can forward these notes or print them for you.  

Absolutely. Sometimes we can best support our students by offering them a place to write. Students are welcome in any location if they would like to work on their assignments where help is easily available.  

Throughout the semester, we work with faculty to host workshops and writing retreats to support specific groups of writers. This type of support is particularly useful for our upper division and graduate students who are working on complex writing projects. Please contact us if you would like to set something up.
