Welcome! The COM Writing Center has one objective: to help you become a better writer. Our clients often see great improvement in their writing, and they continue to come back time and again. Please review our policies below.
Scheduling limits for the academic year:
- In-person appointments last 45 minutes.
- Each student is limited to 1 appointment per day and 2 appointments per week (from any schedule).
Scheduling limits for the last week of the semester:
- To meet increased demand for appointments, The COM Writing Center limits each student to 1 appointment during the last week of the semester.
Additional policies:
- Please be ON TIME for in-person appointments. 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 make sure to upload a paper BEFORE your "written feedback" appointment starts; otherwise, it will be marked a "no-show."
- Please DO NOT schedule appointments for the same day that your paper is due. You might not have time to make edits to your paper after your appointment.
- Please DO NOT cancel appointments at the last minute. The system requires you to cancel an appointment at least 2 hours 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. Decisions regarding "no-shows" are at the discretion of the Writing Center.
