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! We are in the back Hutchins Library, main floor (behind the "Library of Things" sign) and Hutchins Library Annex (down the hallway, past the coffee shop). 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 paper. 
• Appointments are minimum 10 minutes and maximum 50 minutes. You can schedule up to 3 appointments per week. We just ask that you don't schedule back-to-back appointments with the same consultant.
• We cannot guarantee that 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.
  
• Bring your stuff (assignment sheet, drafts, class notes, etc.). The more we know about your assignment, the more we can help.
• HAVE FUN! Writing is exciting! and interesting! and useful! Thinking ideas through with other folks and having others read your writing will only strengthen your skills!
