IMPORTANT POLICIES

Our Graduate Consultants (GCs) and Undergraduate Consultants (UGCs) are trained and happy to help undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and staff with any writing needs. Because we offer in-person and online appointments, we are able to help students on Baylor's campus as well as those taking online courses.

Undergraduate Students:

  • If your work is longer than ten pages, you might consider making multiple appointments. (We can typically discuss up to 8-10 pages in a session.)

  • If you would like to schedule an asynchronous online appointment, choose the "Written Feedback" option when booking your appointment. Please visit our website for further information. The GWC does not offer written feedback appointments. 

  • Although our schedule is divided into one-hour blocks, our appointments actually last 45-50 minutes.

  • Students who are more than fifteen minutes late for their appointments may forfeit their slot to walk-in clients. Please call if you know you will be late.

  • UWC clients are limited to two appointments per week and one appointment per day.

Graduate Students:

  • Please note that the GWC does not offer written-only (Written Feedback) appointments. While we do provide written comments, all appointments require a meeting at the specified time, either online or in-person.

  • GWC appointments last up to 60 minutes. They also include one hour of pre-reading (by the consultant). You must upload your document to WCOnline 24 hours in advance of your appointment. Please contact your consultant directly if you are having problems.

  • GWC clients are limited to one appointment per week.

All Clients:

  • If applicable, please bring your prompt or assignment sheet to your in-person appointment or upload these documents to your online appointment.

  • Students who have video conference appointments should have a working web camera and microphone.

  • If you know you cannot make your appointment, please log-in online to cancel your appointment. If you are unable to cancel your appointment, please call or email the center you are scheduled with. You may also email your consultant directly. After three missed appointments (i.e., no cancellation), your account will be deactivated.

MISSION

The mission of the Center for Writing Excellence (CWE) is to assist undergraduate and graduate students in all disciplines to become effective, confident writers who find the writing process meaningful, productive, and enjoyable. CWE tutors consult with writers in supportive and nonjudgmental ways to facilitate self-discovery and inspire confidence as writers learn, grow, and take ownership of their words and ideas. Our methods reflect our respect for the individual writer, whose talents, voice, and goals are central to all our endeavors.
