Writing Center FAQs: Writing Center Appointments

I already have an account. How do I make an appointment?   

1. After you’ve logged into the scheduler, make sure that you are viewing the correct week and day/date. You can navigate to other days/weeks by using either the overhead calendars or the Next Week/Prev Week buttons.
2. If you prefer a specific consultant, find the consultant’s name on the left-hand side and click a white box that corresponds with both the consultant and your desired appointment time.
3. If you have no consultant preference, simply click a white box under your desired appointment time, complete the appointment form, and click “Save Appointment.”
4. If you’ve successfully saved the appointment, you should see a “Success!” message. You will also receive a confirmation email with your appointment information and instructions for logging in to the appointment.

I’ve never used the Writing Center before. How do I create an account?

How often can I make an appointment?

Students are able to schedule two appointments per week, however, this practice is discouraged if you do not plan to keep both sessions. This practice negatively impacts other students and the writing center staff.

How long are appointments?

All appointments are 50 minutes long and start on the hour. Please note that if you log into the appointment late, your session will still end at the same time or may be considered a no-show.
