When can I come?
You can come to the Writing Center at any stage in the writing process.
You can come in after you have received the assignment to discuss ideas
with a tutor. Or you can bring in an outline or even notes to go over
with the tutor. Once you have begun writing we will look over any stage
of a draft whether it is incomplete, rough, or final. But please don't
bring in a final draft mere minutes before it is due as we will be unable
to help you with anything. (Back

What should I bring?
Bring your ideas and a willingness to work. Physically, bring in any written
work you have done on the paper and your most current draft. Also please
bring a copy of the assignment so we know what you are writing about.
Come prepared to explain the assignment to the tutor. (Back

What will happen?
Tutorial Sessions are active exchanges between the student and the tutor.
Students often read their rough drafts aloud and identify places that
need attention. The tutor will go through your paper with you and help
suggest revisions that will make the paper more effective. We will NOT
proofread your paper, we will work with you to make it better and address
your concerns but you will not become a better writer if we do all the
work. (Back to top)
How long will this take?
An average session takes about thirty minutes. This will of course vary
depending on the length of the paper and the amount of issues you want
to discuss. If you know you want more time than thirty minutes please
let us know when you schedule your appointment. (Back

HOW DO I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?
What a good question! We do offer walk-in tutorials but recommend that
you call ahead to schedule your appointment. You can either come visit
us at the Writing Center or call ext 4645. Please remember that near the
end of the semester we get very busy so you may want to book as far in
advance as possible. (Back to top)
