Zoom Appointments for UCI Undergraduates

HumCore students may also book a HumCore appointment here.
Student athletes may also book an appointment here.

At the Center, our mission is your improvement as a writer, not simply the improvement of your paper.

We offer feedback and guide you through choices in the writing process, rather than making your decisions and editing a paper for you. (Click here for more information about our consultation practices.)

Book a Zoom appointment	Before each Zoom appointment
Book your appointment up to 2 weeks in advance. Appointment slots fill up fast, but are made available when students cancel, so check back regularly for new availability within the online booking system. This will also allow you adequate time for revision. Questions: Phone: 949-824-8949 Email: writing-center@uci.edu (NOTE: no reception staff on duty during summer; email preferred) See our hours of operation for available times; appointments are booked on the hour.	Fill out the intake form. This is required for each appointment. Click the button above to complete the required form. Review your paper and/or materials before your appointment. Your appointment will be much more efficient, and the advice you get more useful, if the session is not slowed down by a number of potentially confusing issues or errors that you could have caught yourself. Prioritize what you would like feedback on. We may not be able to get all the way through long papers or multiple papers due to the in-depth nature of writing consultations. Have your assignment instructions (or “essay prompt”). If you are writing about a text, bring the text to your appointment as well. Prepare questions for the Writing Specialist. Having a specific concern or question for your specialist will help you make the most of your session. Read tips for getting feedback on your writing.

Appointment policies

Appointments are available for currently enrolled UCI undergraduates only and are made with professional, full-time Writing Specialists.
Appointments are limited to 2 appointments per week per student and 1 appointment per day due to high demand and to ensure adequate revision between appointments. This includes Zoom and email consultations.
Appointments are forfeited if you are 15 minutes late. However, you may still use drop-in tutoring.
You must cancel if you cannot attend an appointment or risk losing appointment privileges.
If you fail to show up for an appointment without advance notification, you will lose appointment privileges for seven days.
If you are requesting feedback on a take-home essay exam, you must provide written permission (e.g., syllabus or instructor note) allowing you to use the Writing Center.
Graduate students may make appointments at the Graduate Postdoctoral Scholar Resource Center.
