Please read the following before making an appointment:

  • For Fall 2022: We are offering both in-person and online appointments. You have the option to choose your modality for weekday appointments, and all evening and weekend appointments are online only. In-person appointments take place in our center, which is in Mallinckrodt 130 (lower level) on the Danforth Campus.
  • We continue to require masks in The Writing Center.
  • Online appointments take place using the built-in interface in our scheduling system.  To access your online appointment, log into our schedule, click on your appointment, and click on “Start or Join Online Conversation” in your appointment screen.
  • All appointments begin at the top of the hour and last a maximum of 50 minutes.  Students who fail to show up at The Writing Center or join their online appointment by 10 minutes past the hour will be considered no-shows.
  • To cancel an appointment more than 24 hours prior to your scheduled time, use our scheduling system.  To cancel with less than 24 hours before your appointment, please call us or email writing@wustl.edu.
  • To get on the wait-list for an appointment, simply click on the link below each day’s hours (to the right of your screen on the schedule).  You will receive an automated email notifying you of any appointments that become available.
  • Graduate students can only sign up with one of our senior or graduate tutors (these are indicated on the schedule).
  • If you are working on a take-home exam, you may make your appointment as normal, but we will need written permission from your instructor if it is not explicitly stated on the course syllabus or the exam prompt.  Instructors should email writing@wustl.edu before the time of your appointment.
  • Please note we are only able to work with you on your own work.  We cannot review something you are bringing in on behalf of someone else.  The only exception is a group project, in which case you should make an appointment and contact us at writing@wustl.edu so we can make arrangements for other group members to access the online session.
  • PLEASE NOTE:  All times on our scheduling system are in CENTRAL TIME (St. Louis time).
