University Writing Center

E-Tutoring/Writing Drop Off

E-tutoring allows you to upload a writing project during a scheduled time slot and receive feedback at the end of that time slot.  When making an e-tutoring appointment, schedule 30 minutes per 2 double-spaced pages, with a maximum of 8 double-spaced pages for a 2-hour appointment.  Please attach your writing as a Word document, along with an assignment sheet and any information that will assist us in providing feedback.

Consultants 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 consultant will provide the feedback they can in the time allotted.
