In-Person Appointments  

For in-person appointments, please bring either two (2) hard copies of materials you plan to share with your consultant or a computer. If you bring a computer, please upload your documents to your appointment for the consultant to access. Your consultant will be working on a separate computer.

eTutoring (Asynchronous) Appointments

eTutoring allows you to upload a document during a scheduled time slot (Central Standard Time) and receive feedback at the end of that time slot. Please attach your writing as a Word document or PDF, along with an assignment sheet and any information that will assist us in providing feedback. Watch our video for additional instructions.

Tutors will provide constructive/instructive feedback but will not simply edit or proofread. If what you upload is too long to cover in the scheduled time, a tutor will provide the feedback they can in the time allotted.

Online (Synchronous) Appointments

Online appointments allow you to work with a tutor in real-time (Central Standard Time). You have the option for video or audio, as well as chat only, as you work with your tutor. You can also upload a document or cut and paste it into the whiteboard space to work together. You must use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome for an online appointment. Read additional instructions.
