Writing Center tutors work with students to help them find their own solutions to questions. Rather than correcting papers for students, tutors work with students to help them edit their writing and identify issues that need further attention. Tutors may ask students to discuss their ideas as a way to specify, clarify, or deepen them. Tutors may also offer feedback on drafts, suggest writing approaches, review information, and help students analyze their own writing. Ultimately, the goal in the Writing Center is to help students become more proficient, independent writers.

Appointments To schedule an appointment with a Writing Center tutor, students first need to create 58 an account on our online sign-up system: supersaas.com/schedule/saic/writingcenter

Once students have set up their own account, they may sign up for appointments. Though appointments are encouraged, walk-in appointments are welcome. Weekly standing appointments are available upon request.

When students come to their tutoring appointments, they should make sure to bring their assignments with them printed out.

If faculty or students have any questions about scheduling appointments, they're encouraged to email or call the Writing Center. The front-desk staff and coordinator are available to help.
