Prepare for your appointment
- Bring a copy of your work (preferably typed).
- Bring a copy of your assignment, instructor's guidelines, and other course materials.
- Choose the topic on which you want to focus.
- Set your phone to silent.
- Allow time after your appointment to revise your essay.
Cancellation policy and no-shows
- Cancel at least 30 minutes before your appointment using the same booking system or email the writing consultant.
- A missed, un-cancelled appointment is considered a no-show.
- If you accumulate more than two no-shows, we may require you to submit your essays to WriteAway rather than booking an in-person appointment.
