Focus on individual writing help

Writing Services offers individual appointments up to the end of classes. First-year students can see trained writing Peer Helpers, and all students can make three appointments per semester with professional consultants. For those who can’t get or don’t want individual appointments the Writing Central walk-in is open Monday - Friday in the afternoon and Wednesday evening 6-8 p.m. and our Peers are in Mountain Residence from 6-8 pm on Wednesdays. Note that individual appointments fill up fast, so students who need a longer session should book 5-6 days before they want one. More about writing help
