ASC Appointment Rules
- Appointments may be scheduled up to two weeks in advance. Permanent appointments are available with writing tutors in the Newtown Center during the fall and spring semesters. These may be requested through the Assistant Director (Writing).
- Appointments are thirty-minutes in length.
- For many subjects, a student may have two appointments in one day based upon tutor availability. Please refer to subject-specific handouts for the current semester policies. To schedule a second appointment, contact the Newtown Center.
- Second appointments must occur one hour from the end of the previous session. For example, if your first appointment is from 10:00am – 10:30am, a second appointment can be scheduled for 11:30am – 12:00pm.
- Online writing help counts as one appointment – the appointment is credited for the day the student receives the response. If students submit an essay by 12:00pm on a business day, they will receive a response by 4:00pm the next business day.
- Ask a Tutor and drop-in writing do not count for appointments.
- Second appointments must occur one hour from the end of the previous session. For example, if your first appointment is from 10:00am – 10:30am, a second appointment can be scheduled for 11:30am – 12:00pm.
- Writing tutors can tutor writing, reading, study skills, and AESL for any course. If you’d like to work on these skills, select “Writing, Reading, and Study Skills” as the visit reason when making an appointment for these courses.
- You may only schedule one appointment per day with the AESL specialists due to their limited availability; however, you can request a second appointment with a writing tutor.
