Making an appointment at the Center for Writing and Public Discourse.

Setting up a Free Account: Click on the “First visit? Register for an account” link. The system will ask you for some basic information. Please be sure to fill this information out accurately and thoroughly. Your information will not be shared.

Viewing the Schedule: The schedule is organized by day and time slots available for each tutor. The schedule always has the current day at the top of the list. White blocks indicate an available appointment; blue and maroon blocks indicate an unavailable time slot; gray blocks indicate a time that has already passed. Appointments are 45 minutes, which includes debriefing and agenda setting.

Multilingual Appointments:
Multilingual students wanting to make an appointment with Mellissa, Chloe, or Megan should use the drop-down menu to select the current semester’s multilingual appointment schedule.

Writing Partner Appointments: NEW as of 2024!
Writing Partner Appointments are appointments where you and your consultant will use the pomodoro study technique to make progress on a writing assignment. These appointments are excellent for folks who find being around other studying students motivating to get their work done. Seniors, consider setting up a weekly or biweekly writing partner appointment to stay on top of your Senior Thesis writing goals all semester!

Scheduling an Appointment: Click on a white block for the time and tutor you would like to reserve. You will be asked to fill in the course, the instructor's name, and a brief explanation for what you would like to work on.  Once you have done this click "Save Appointment.” Once your appointment has been entered the corresponding white block will turn gold.
