ATTENTION: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU ARE BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH AN APPROPRIATE WRITING TUTOR OR CONVERSATION PARTNER. YOU MUST USE THE “APPOINTMENT FOCUS” DROP-DOWN MENU TO FILTER THE SCHEDULE BEFORE BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT! 

WRITING TUTORING: For support on any writing project in English, select “Writing Tutoring – ALL Types of Writing.” Any of our writing tutors can assist you with any English-language writing project. For help with writing in another language, or for more specialized support, we also offer additional Writing Tutoring subfilters (Spanish, Creative Writing, Personal Statements, Grad, etc.). 

LANGUAGE SUPPORT (AND CONVERSATION PRACTICE): Please select the appropriate "Language Support" filter for the language you are seeking tutoring or conversation practice in.

PRESENTATION SUPPORT: For assistance with preparing for a presentation in English or another language, please select the appropriate "Presentation Support" filter.

READING SUPPORT: For assistance with reading assignments in English or another language, please select the appropriate “Reading Support” filter. 

MEETING TYPES

The “Show All Meeting Types” dropdown box allows you to filter by modality:

• E-TUTORING: This type of appointment allows you to get asynchronous feedback on a writing project without having to meet directly with a tutor. These are only available as 2-block appointments. Upload one or more Microsoft Word documents to your appointment and you will receive feedback by the end of the scheduled time. 
• IN-PERSON: Meet face to face in Charles Library 340. When you arrive, please check in for your in-person appointment by clicking on the green checkmark at the top of the screen that says "Clock In."
• ZOOM ONLINE TUTORING: Connect remotely with a tutor. Navigate to your appointment at the start of your appointment time and locate the tutor’s Zoom link. 

APPOINTMENT LENGTHS AND LIMITS

In general, we recommend a 2-block appointment (45-50 minutes) when possible. Select a time frame when there are two available white blocks next to each other.

We also offer 1-block appointments (20-25 minutes). Look for a single available white block on the schedule.

All appointments must be booked at least 45 minutes in advance. 

You may book up to 7 appointments per week.

You may book up to 3 appointments per day, but each appointment must be focused on a different assignment and/or type of support. (For example, you may book one appointment to work on an ENG 0802 essay with one writing tutor, a second appointment to work on an IH paper with a different writing tutor, and a third appointment to get conversation practice with a Spanish language tutor. You may NOT book two appointments in the same day to work on the same ENG 0802 essay; for additional support on the same assignment or goal, please return a different day.) Repeat appointments booked for the same day will be cancelled. If you book more than one appointment for the same day, each one must be with a different tutor.
