What to bring to your appointment
Assignment instructions
Our mentors can provide the most accurate support when we know exactly what your professor is asking for, so bring a copy of your syllabus, assignment instructions and/or rubric so we can make sure you’re on the right track.
Draft
You don’t need to have started your assignment to come see us, but if you have, bring in your draft at whatever step of the writing process you’re at so our mentors can provide insight into developing your work.
Something to take notes with
Bring your laptop, iPad, or a notebook and pen to take notes so that what you learn continues to help you after you leave.
