Q

Who will I see?

A

In-person appointments are available with faculty-recommended writing tutors.

Q

What should I expect during these sessions?

A

The tutor will help you identify errors and provide instruction on how to correct problem areas. Do not expect the tutor to proofread your paper or re-write sections for you.

Q

If seeking writing support, should I bring anything besides my paper?

A

Yes! Bring a copy of the assignment or notes you took regarding the paper. Also, let the tutor know what style of paper you are preparing -- MLA, APA, etc.

Q

If seeking tutoring assistance, what should I bring?

A

Please bring your course syllabus, assignments or homework you are having problems with, specific questions, and appropriate writing supplies (pencil and paper).

Q

What if no writing tutor is available during my available days/times?

A

If you are having a difficult time accessing a writing tutor during the day, please email your paper to our Online Writing Lab (OWL).

This service is ideal for students with time and/or distance constraints. However, please be aware that there may be times when a paper needs more help than is possible with an online review. When this happens, we will make every effort to work with your schedule for an in-person appointment.
