Helping Maximize Your Experience and Learning
To ensure a safe and ideal learning environment for all students in our space–tutors and writers included–the Writing Center asks that all writers agree to the following terms. Tutors have the right to terminate a session if one or more of these terms are not met:
-
You come to the writing center with a clear agenda
-
We work on bigger concerns in the paper before we talk about editing concerns
-
You come to the writing center prepared with the assignment sheet/rubric
-
You come to the writing center with the intention to collaborate with the tutor to take on an active learning role (instead of expecting the tutor to do all your work)
-
You don’t expect that we’ll predict a grade for you, or guarantee a higher grade on the assignment you’re working on
-
You agree not to use your phone or other distracting devices during the session
-
You understand that your session can be up to 45 minutes long but no longer
-
Hostility towards the tutor will not be tolerated
-
Racist, sexist, ableist, or homophobic language will not be tolerated in our space, given our mission to be inclusive and welcoming
-
Sexual advances or romantic overtures will not be tolerated in the writing center
