Do I need an appointment?

No--but you are taking the chance that all of the consultants might be busy during the time you need help, but you are welcome to chance it.

Text BoxCan I drop off my paper so you can correct it and then I can just pick it up when you're done?

Nice try! But the answer is no. Your work is your responsibility; however, we are a great free resource for helping you learn how to spot your mistakes and how to correct them.

Can I come just once?

Sure! It's entirely up to you. If you have a long assignment, you will probably find that several visits will give you a better chance of covering a variety of possible problems. Often, students find that talking to someone else helps them decide on a topic or even define their topics. Please don't wait until the day your paper is due--you probably won't have time to correct it before class.

Text BoxCan I improve my writing?

As a result of your work with us, your writing is bound to improve. The more you work with us, the more likely you are to find the writer inside of you.

Do I need to take an English course to visit the Writing Center?

Nope. We're happy to help you with your writing in any academic subject. Good writing is good writing, no matter the subject. When you visit, please bring a copy of the assignment sheet for the paper or project you are working on. That way, we will have some sense of your prof's expectations and requirements. And don't forget--we can help with writing that's not even for a class (like scholarship applications, for instance).
