Appointments
The Writing Center offers a variety of appointments for writers who are both on
campus and off campus and at any stage of the writing process. Writers can
schedule an In Person appointment to meet with a mentor at the Library or a Phone
or Video appointment.
Appointments can be made for 30, 60, or 90-minute periods. A real-time
appointment allows questions and comments to be addressed upfront and
promotes dialogue between the writer and mentor to produce fruitful revisions.

and relevant materials to the appointment when scheduling. Attachments can be
edited or added after the appointment has been made.
Phone
A mentor will call you at the scheduled time to begin the appointment. You are
