Tips for a Successful Writing Center Experience

Try not to wait until the last minute to come in. Usually, students leave the
Writing Center with great ideas for revision—make sure you leave yourself
enough time (at least a day or two) to fulfill them.

Bring in your instructor’s actual assignment whenever possible. If you are revising a graded paper, also bring your instructor's notes. Tutoring sessions work best if both you and the tutor have clear understanding of the assignment.

The writing process involves revision. Tutors aim to help you move on to the next stage in your process—not to finish your paper—during the 45 minute session, so you should expect to continue work on your project after you leave.

Your most effective resource for getting advice in how best to complete your assignment is your instructor. The Writing Center helps you develop and express your ideas, but we cannot tell you if your conclusions will be satisfactory to your instructors. Using the Writing Center is no substitute for visiting your instructors during office hours, or for getting discipline-specific help from the Learning Center.
