Appointment Types

In-person appointments are held at the UWC on the 3rd floor of Weeks Hall (Monday-Friday). During the fall and spring semesters, we offer consultations in the Library Room 132 (Tuesday and Sunday) and our other satellite locations in the Architecture Library (spring only) and three residence halls. See the schedule for days and times of satellite locations as applicable. You can sit down with one of our consultants and brainstorm ideas about an assignment or go over a draft of your paper.

Synchronous online appointments use video conferencing and an online whiteboard where you and a consultant can interact with each other and the text in real time. Ideally, you will have access to a computer with a camera, microphone, speakers, and Chrome. Other browsers can work, but Chrome is best for the platform.

Written/audio feedback appointments enable you to upload the assignment prompt, a draft of your paper, and questions or concerns you'd like a consultant to address. A writing consultant will review your paper and provide written and audio feedback answering your specific questions.

Academic reading consultations are one-on-one, in-person sessions available in Weeks Hall through which you can improve (or develop!) your reading and analyzing skills. Whether you’ve been assigned a novel, a textbook, or an academic article, you can learn how to read with a purpose in mind and develop strategies and skills for more effective academic reading.
