Getting A Writing Tutor
(*Please read these directions all the way through before continuing*)
-Click here to enter the Writing Center tutoring appointment system.
-Click on the “Search Availability” button on the left of this page.  This will take you to new page for searching available times.
-Click the “Center” dropdown menu on the left-hand side of the page and select “Writing Center”.  At this point you can fill in the “From” and “To” dates and click “Search” to find any available writing tutors and their current open appointment times.  If there is a particular tutor you would like to work with, you may select his/her name by clicking the dropdown menu under “Consultant” before clicking the “Search” button.  The next page will bring up a calendar of available tutors and time slots.
-To make your appointment, click your desired appointment time on the calendar.  This will bring up an “Appointments Entry” screen and you will need to click “Save” in order to book your appointment.  If you change your mind or have clicked on the wrong appointment time, click the “x” in the top right corner to exit the appointment.  You will know that you have successfully booked your selected appointment if it no longer shows up on the calendar.  Additionally, you will receive a confirmation email from OLS with your appointment information.
*All of your upcoming tutoring appointments will now display on the main menu/ welcome page when you are signed in.
