  • When should I go to the Writing Center?
    Ideally, as soon as you know you have a writing task. Many students come to the writing center several times while working on the same project. Many students also set goals with us and make appointments in advance to hold themselves accountable for completing their writing tasks.
     
  • What should I bring with me to my appointment? 
    ​​​​​​​Please bring any prompts, pre-writing, or drafts that you may have. If your writing is not for a class, and you want to brainstorm with us, that is fine too. Please just bring what you have
