Scheduling an Appointment
Writing Center tutors cannot perfect your paper. What they can do is look at areas you are uncertain about and show you strategies for correcting and improving your work.
Procedure:
Students can book appointments online here, by calling 805-493-3257, or by walking in. Appointments booked online can be made up to 2 weeks in advance.
While we do take walk-ins, we cannot guarantee that a tutor will be available for you without an appointment, particularly during busy periods of the semester.
Things to Remember:
- Allow enough time between the appointment and the project due date to make any necessary revisions and to schedule a follow-up Writing Center visit. Tutors can help you with your initial problems and, on your second visit, they can check your work for effectiveness and accuracy.
- Be on time for your appointment. Tutors have to stay on schedule with their appointments, and they can only hold your appointment for 5-10 minutes if other students are waiting.
- Come prepared by bringing:
- a copy of the assignment, preferably double spaced
- relevant class notes
- a two or three page freewrite of your planned approach to the essay
