Walk-in Hours

Schedule for Walk-in hours

Walk-in hours (no appointment necessary) provide individual feedback on writing assignments. Walk-in hours are especially useful for specific questions, short assignments or as a follow-up to writing seminars. Walk-in hours work in the following way:

• Students bring a piece of their own writing such as a homework assignment or paper with specific questions or concerns that they have.
• We encourage students to bring other work or a laptop to use if they need to wait.
• Walk-in hours do not provide help with proofreading, editing, advice for content or professional guidance on cover letters/resumes/application essays (but we can help with grammar, syntax and vocabulary).
