The Writing Center offers both walk-in consultations and consultations by appointment.  (For Thursday evening consultations in CMO dorm for those who don't live there, and for all online consultations, appointments are required.)  However, to be certain you can have a consultation, make an appointment!

For IN-PERSON consultations, make 30-minute appointments (unless you are a second-language learner or your paper is a long one, in which case make a 60-minute appointment).

For ONLINE consultations, 60-minute appointments are required.  (You will receive an error message if you attempt to make a 30-minute appointment for such a consultation.)

To make your appointment, go to:

Special note regarding Thursday evening consultations in CMO: If you don't live in the dorm, please indicate on the reservation form that you will need dorm access so that the consultant can meet you at the door and let you in.

Use the link above to cancel or reschedule an appointment or to access an online appointment.  (Be sure to cancel any appointment you can't keep.  Otherwise you'll be deemed a no show.  After three "no shows" in a term, you'll lose your appointment-making privileges for the rest of the semester, which means you can be seen only as a walk-in client.)

If you are more than five minutes late for an appointment, you will be considered a no-show, and your appointment may be given to someone else.

A Few Rules to Observe in Making and Keeping Appointments:

 1. If you are late for an appointment and we have someone arrive at the center at that time who wants a walk-in consultation, we will consider you a no-show and accommodate the walk-in client. 2. A consultation (whether in-person or online) should concern just one writing assignment. 3. PLEASE NOTE OUR NO-SHOW RULE: After three no-shows in a semester, a client will not be able to make any additional appointments for the rest of the semester. (To cancel an appointment and therefore not be counted as a no-show, enter WCOnline, click on the appointment you cannot keep, and indicate that you are cancelling it.) The client can continue to be seen on a walk-in basis only. The Writing Center has this rule because when a client does not show up for an appointment, oftentimes, that time slot could have been used by another client. In other words, your not showing up for your scheduled consultation may prevent another student from getting the writing center services that he or she needs.
