LOCATION
We are in the back of Hutchins Library's main floor, to the right. You can also enter through the Hutchins Library Annex (past the coffee shop, down the hallway). For evening appointments, it's usually best to enter through Hutchins.

Please bring your assignment sheet, class notes, etc. with you! The more we know about your work, the more we can help.😊


MAKING AN APPOINTMENT

1: Sign in and choose an appointment date/time. White boxes represent available times. If a date has no white boxes, we are not open that day. 

2: Click on your date/time. A short form will pop up in a new window. 

3: Fill in some details about the assignment. 

4: Click "save." You should receive an e-mail confirmation shortly.

On the day/time of your appointment, come by! Please bring your laptop, paper draft, assignment sheet, and any feedback you've gotten.


THINGS TO KNOW

  • Consultants will not pre-read papers. Your 50-minute appointment is the time our awesome (!), trained consultants have to read, talk about, and offer feedback on your work.
  • Appointments are minimum 10 minutes and maximum 50 minutes. Please don't schedule back-to-back appointments with the same consultant.
  • We cannot guarantee you'll work with your consultant of choice. We try to honor the selections you make when you schedule, but we may move you to a new consultant without notification to ensure that you get help at the time you requested!
  • HAVE FUN! Thinking through ideas with other folks and having others read your writing will only strengthen your skills and confidence.
