Welcome! The COM Writing Center has one objective — to help you become a better writer. Here are our policies for appointments.
Scheduling limits for the academic year:
- Appointments last 30 minutes but can be extended to 60 minutes using back-to-back appointments.
- Each student is limited to 2 half-hour appointments per day and 4 half-hour appointments per week.
Additional policies:
- Please be on time. Tutors will wait up to 10 minutes for you to arrive, but if you have not begun the appointment at that point, it will be marked a no-show.
- Please DO NOT cancel appointments at the last minute. The system requires you to cancel an appointment at least 1 hour before the start time; otherwise, it will be marked as a "no-show."
- Students with repeated no-shows will be restricted from making future appointments.
Please contact us if you have any questions:
