Frequently Asked Questions

8903 What if I don't have anything written yet?

While a draft is helpful, it's not required. Our team is happy to help brainstorm ideas to get you started.

8903 What are some revision tips?

Writing is a process, and revisions are a key component to good writing. Keep in mind:

  • Give yourself plenty of time to revise. "Resting" your draft by revisiting your writing at a later time is important for a successful writing experience.
  • Feedback provided by the Center are suggestions; since this is your writing, you get to decide how best to use the feedback in ways that keep you in charge of your writing.
  • Feedback typically doesn't cover all potential areas for revisions or corrections. Rather, our consultants will engage with your work and guide you through the areas where feedback seems most needed.
  • When working with a consultant, we welcome specific questions or requests you may have with certain parts of your work. Just ask.
  • After making changes to your work, consider submitting a revised draft, or schedule an appointment for follow-up feedback. We're committed to helping you throughout your student experience.
8903 How often may I schedule an appointment?

The most important thing to bring to your Writing & AI Literacy Center appointment is an openness to work on your writing! Other things that help make a session successful are the assignment sheet, class notes, or course materials that pertain to the assignment and any written work you have completed so far.

8903 How many pages can we review during my appointment?

To optimize the quality of feedback on your writing, seven pages is the maximum amount for one appointment. Please schedule additional appointments for papers more than seven pages long. If you have a paper exceeding seven pages but are only looking to focus on a section, we are happy to do so.

8903 Does my writing have to be printed?

While our team is happy to review your writing on any medium, bringing a printed copy provides an easy way to take notes and can offer a helpful visual of the work altogether. If you do not have a printed copy available, please be prepared with a digital version.

8903 How do I obtain verification for my visit?

Upon request, we can email you an appointment verification of your visit.  

8903 What is the cancellation policy?
  • Appointments are marked as completed after 10 minutes into an appointment block.
  • If a student arrives 10 or more minutes late to their appointment, they will be asked to reschedule, and it will be marked as missed / no-show.
  • If you make an effort to communicate with us within 24 hours of your missed appointment, missed / no-show will be removed from your account.
  • Three missed / no-shows with no communication will result in being blocked from scheduling future appointments for the rest of the semester. Students may still utilize the Writing & AI Literacy Center through walk-in appointments and can still send drafts through ACES. 
  • If we happen to miss an email or phone call to cancel your appointment and the appointment is marked as missed / no-show, we will correct the error.
