The Writing Learning Center will take "drop in" clients, but only if the on-duty writing tutors don't have any appointments scheduled. To schedule an appointment for yourself:

  1. Go to Navigate and sign in
  2. Click on “Get Assistance” in the upper right
  3. In the drop-down menu, select “Academic Support” and the relevant type of service: “Tutoring”
  4. In the next drop-down menu, select “Writing Learning Center"
  5. The system should show availabilities and you can select a day and time for an appointment with one of the WLC tutors. The usual length of an appointment is 30 minutes.
  6. You can leave a note letting your tutor know if you'll be attending via Zoom rather than in person in Fraser 208.

You and your tutor will receive a confirmation email in your Geneseo email account and via an event that will appear on your Google Calendar. When the time comes for your appointment, you can meet your tutor in Fraser 208 or click on the Zoom link in that email or in the Calendar event to open a videoconference. Decide together whether you want the cameras or captioning on. 

Share a copy of your writing via Google docs; the tutor needs to be able to see your writing and you both need to be able to point to and edit it. All Geneseo students can access Google docs, and if you haven't used Google docs before, your tutor will help you. 

Fill out the pre-session form to let your tutor know what you want to talk about
