In previous semesters, the Writing Center has offered drop-in instruction on a first come, first served basis at a variety of satellite locations across campus. This fall, we are offering same-day appointments through our Drop-In Hours schedule for online instruction. Drop-in Hours begin Sunday, September 20.
Appointments made during Drop-In Hours last for 25-minutes (plus a 5-minute buffer to allow for technology navigation) and are virtual appointments that include live conversation with a Writing Center instructor. These appointments are intended for undergraduate students seeking same-minute feedback on course papers, application materials, and other short writing assignments. Unlike our other schedules, which you book in advance, we will be running Drop-In Hours as first-come, first-serve time slots using a sign-up sheet. We will open the sign-up sheet beginning at 6:00 PM, Sunday through Thursday.
If you are scheduled for an appointment, you will be notified with a confirmation email from WCOnline. You can also look at the Drop-In Hours schedule in WCOnline to see if your name has been added. Be sure to log back in to WCOnline approximately 5-10 minutes before your appointment begins so that you are ready to connect with your instructor. If you need help scheduling or accessing your appointment, please contact us through chat.
A listing of our daily Fall 2020 availability for Drop-In Hours can be found on our Hours page.
