Writing Tutor Appointment Policies
The following guidelines for working with a writing tutor in the Student Learning Center are designed to help clarify expectations and help you maximize your tutoring experience.
1. Make an appointment before the day the paper is due. Last minute tutoring appointments do not provide adequate time to get the most from a session.
2. Writing tutors do not edit papers; instead they provide tools to help you self-correct your papers and reduce dependence on tutors.
3. Review your paper for errors before your writing appointment to make the best use of your time with a tutor.
To schedule an appointment with a writing tutor, come to the Student Learning Center Monday - Thursday 9am - 4:30pm or Friday 9am - 2:30pm. If you are not able to make an appointment in advance, there is limited drop-in writing assistance available Monday - Thursday 2pm - 5pm and Friday 9am - 2pm.
