THE USM WRITING CENTER

THE USM WRITING CENTER WILL RE-OPEN FOR Spring 2012 ON Wednesday January 25th.

The USM Writing Center Services:

The Writing Center sessions are scheduled for 45 minutes and begin on the hour. We do accept walk-ins. However, we often book up a week in advance and strongly encourage clients to make an appointment.

To schedule an appoinment, you can go online here or drop by The Writing Center on the first floor of Cook Library. Call (601) 266-4821 for more information.

 

Instructions for making an ONLINE appointment:

Please note: Appointments are limited to 45 MINUTES.

1. When you click on the link above, you will see our online scheduler.

2. Once there, create a new account. Once you've created the account, you will not have to enter all of your information for future appointments.

3. Once you create an account, log into the system, choosing the correct center: Hattiesburg Writing Center, Hattiesburg Speaking Center, Gulf Park Speaking Center, or Gulf Park Writing Center.

4. Once you log in and choose a schedule, you will then see the available times. Click on tutor names to learn more about each staff member. Find a good time, click on the square, and complete the reservation form.

5. You should see a screen that confirms your appointment. You will also receive a confirmation email.

 

Each tutoring session lasts about 45 minutes, so you should plan to stay about this long. Even if you don’t think you’ll need that much time, you should give yourself the entire session since you may need more time than you think. Keep in mind that it’s better to have too much time than not enough!

Also, be sure that you arrive no later than 10 minutes after your scheduled time. Not only does this ensure that you have enough time to work with a tutor, but also, we are often so busy that there are other students wanting to walk in and be tutored at the time you have scheduled. We keep your appointment scheduled for 10 minutes; after 10 minutes, we will accept walk-ins during your scheduled time.
