Appointment Types

	Writing Feedback	In a Writing Feedback appointment, writing consultants will help you brainstorm or look at a draft of your paper. They'll try to determine if you’re answering your prompt and answer any questions you have about your writing. They'll look at your ideas, organization, and clarity.
	Reading Assistance	In a Reading Assistance appointment, reading consultants will talk to you about your reading process, so you can better focus your attention. They'll also look at your textbook with you and help you develop effective note-taking strategies and reading strategies, so you can better understand what you’re reading.
	Learning Parts of Speech	In a Learning Parts of Speech appointment, grammar consultants will look at one of your body paragraphs to find any patterns of errors you might have. They’ll give you a brief mini-lesson on one pattern and help you understand how to correct and avoid those mistakes. These appointments should be made after you’ve received writing feedback, not before.
	Scholarship and Transfer Essays	Scholarship and Transfer Essay appointments are available to help you write essays for those purposes.

Writing Center Appointment Policies

• WC appointments are 30-minutes long. You may have one appointment per day. You may have one scheduled/pending appointment at a time.
• Please check-in for your appointment at the WC Log-in Desk when you arrive. You may check-in up to 30 minutes before your appointment.
• Please arrive within 5 minutes of the scheduled start time or you will be marked a no-show. If you will be more than 5 minutes late, please cancel your appointment and make a later one. There is no penalty for cancelling your appointment. Cancel appointments online or by calling us at (760) 795-6861.
• No-show Penalties: If you no-show twice in any semester you will be blocked from making future WC appointments for 2 weeks. You may only book same-day appointments during this time. Each subsequent no-show will result in another 2-week block.
• You will be expected to work on your paper between WC appointments. If you are not showing progress on your paper by working on it individually, you may be blocked from making appointments. This does not mean you have to accept the suggestions of a writing consultant, but you should be working on your paper between your WC appointments.
