Appointments
We recommmend making appointments two to three days in advance during the year, or one week to ten days in advance during the midsemester and end of semester exam periods.
The Writing Center is open from Sunday to Thursday from 3:00 PM to 9:00PM. Appointments are available from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM on the hour. To set up an appointment, please send an e-mail (Writing_Center@brown.edu) telling us the day, date, and hours you are available in order of preference (broader ranges of times will make it easier to get an appointment). Please also include your cell phone number so that if we need to place you on a waitlist, we can reach you promptly.
Those wishing to make ongoing short or long-term weekly appointments for specific writing concerns should also contact the Center.
Policies:
The following policies are in place to help us best serve Brown's community of writers:
Appointments
- Please bring a printed copy of your work with you. Papers should be double spaced and at least 12-point Times New Roman Font.
- All appointments are 55 minutes long and start on the hour.
- During exam periods students may only schedule two appointments per week. Visitors may not have more than one conference in a day.
- We do not work on take-home exams unless you have your instructor's permission.
Cancellations
- Please cancel at least 2-hours in advance by emailing Writing_Center@brown.edu or calling 401-863-3524; this way we can give your appointment to someone else.
- If you repeatedly miss appointments without calling in advance, you will not be allowed to visit the Writing Center again during the semester without approval from the Director.
- If you are more than ten minutes late and do not contact us, you risk losing your session.
