Welcome to the Writing Center!

If this is your first time accessing our online calendar, click the blue "Register for an account" link, to the left. Then use your Vandal email and new Writing Center account password to log in and make an appointment. You do not need an appointment to visit--if a tutor is available, we can work with you immediately.  

To make an appointment with the Graduate Writing Consultant, please select the "Graduate Writing Support" calendar (just below the log in fields).

 

The Writing Center is open for appointments from August 19 - December 6 during the Fall 2024 semester.

We will be closed during University of Idaho closures and holidays.

 

All of our appointments will be 45 minutes long.

More about our appointment types:

  • In-person appointments: Make up to two appointments per day, and four appointments per week. If you need additional time, please talk to one of us for assistance.
  • Online video chat appointments (meet with a tutor over video chat): To access your appointment, use the "Start or Join Online Meeting" link in the appointment form. 
  • Feedback by email (written feedback on up to 8 pages of writing): During this scheduled time, your tutor reads and responds to your work and then emails their written feedback. Please upload your assignment sheet to the appointment form and let us know, as specifically as you can, what your writing concerns are. Submit only up to 8 pages per appointment. For longer papers, please plan to book a series of sessions. Please attach drafts as MS Word Files. Files sent as .pages files are not possible for us to open, and pages sent as PDFs are difficult to comment on. Thank you!
