We encourage you to schedule an appointment in advance by logging into the online scheduler (at right). Note: failure to show for an appointment after a five-minute grace period will result in the appointment's cancellation so that the consultant may assist other individuals.
In addition to our face-to-face consultations, the Writing Center is pleased to offer online sessions. Online consultations enable writers to discuss ideas with consultants through Adobe Connect, an electronic platform that enables synchronous online communication. As a result, writers who have difficulty visiting the Writing Center during its regular hours or who prefer to work from the comfort of home have an additional means of receiving feedback on their work.
