Making a Conference Appointment
Conference times are often filled days in advance, so appointments are strongly encouraged. If you do not have an appointment, feel free to stop in anyway; we will help you as soon as a writing consultant is free.
To schedule an appointment, either:
- walk in (DVIC 383) and schedule an appointment at the desk for a later time.
- call the Writing Center at (985) 549-2076.
- schedule an appointment online at writing@selu.edu. When scheduling an appointment online, please email us at least two days in advance and provide several available times for appointments.
Standing Appointments
A student can schedule a recurring appointment with a consultant (bi-weekly, weekly, etc.). Standing appointments can be cancelled at any time.
Cancellations
A student can cancel his or her appointment at anytime by stopping by, calling, or emailing the Writing Center.
More information on standing appointments, cancellations, and the “No Show” policy can be obtained from a Writing Center staff member.
Preparing for Your Writing Conference
Here are a few suggestions to help you prepare to make the most of your Writing Center conference:
- Plan ahead—Keep in mind your due dates, and schedule your visits to allow time for revision.
- Set some priorities—Come with a clear agenda. Decide what you want to accomplish and what help you want. Put a name on your concerns.
- Come equipped and ready to work—Bring a copy of the assignment you are working on, any early work you have done, and any comments from your teacher about that work. Be prepared to read and talk about what you have written, and be willing to work with Writing Center staff to find ways to improve it.
- Be prompt—Be on time for your appointment or show up five minutes early to organize your thoughts and the materials you bring. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call or email to let us know.
