 Policies

  • Each session is scheduled to last up to 50 minutes.
  • A writer can make 3 appointments per week but cannot schedule them back-to-back.
  • Because we want as many students to have the opportunity to work with a coach, we encourage you to cancel your appointment (or contact us) as soon as you know you will be unable to attend the appointment.
  • Three missed appointments in the same semester will trigger the system to block a writer from scheduling appointments for the rest of the semester (Writers are still able to come in for a drop-in session).
  • We take drop-ins if another writer misses an appointment, if an appointment ends early, or if there is not an appointment scheduled during a given time period.
  • Only students (graduate, undergraduate, or special) currently enrolled in courses at the Oshkosh campus can use the Writing Center.
  • Instructors will be notified of an appointment at the writer’s request.
  • Disrespectful or abusive behavior by either writing coaches or writers will not be tolerated. All questions or concerns should be directed to Dr. Crystal Mueller, Writing Center Director.

What should I bring to my session?

Please bring a copy of your draft (if you have one) and your assignment directions. If you prefer working with a printed copy of your draft in front of you, you should bring that. If you prefer working on your laptop and making revisions to your draft right away, you should bring that. Additionally, bring any notes or sources that are key to what you want to discuss about your writing.
