HWC Winter Quarter 2026 One-to-One Meeting Schedule

How to make an appointment: White rectangles represent open appointments; click a white rectangle to book an appointment. Appointments may be 30-60 minutes in length. Please expect 30-minute appointments to offer 25 minutes of meeting time and 60-minute appointments to offer 50 minutes of meeting time.

If you are looking for the Summer Statement of Purpose schedule, please click on "Schedules" at the top of this page and select the "Personal Training SOP" schedule from the list. That program has a separate schedule. Do not book meetings for that program on this schedule.

Appointment types: We offer in-person and online appointments Monday to Friday, 9 - 5. Our evening and weekend appointments with peer tutors are online, though most peer tutors are amenable to meeting in person at Red Door or another campus location if you reach out to them by email in advance to request it.

What to expect: Each session is customized to the individual writer's needs, and you do not need to have a draft to meet with us. Learn more about appointments on our website

Upload documents: If you wish, you can attach documents (e.g., a working draft, copies of an assignment) when you make an appointment or later on by clicking "edit appointment." You also can provide a link to an online document in the appointment form. However, you do not need to have a draft prepared in order to meet with us. 

Waiting list: If an appointment time you are interested in is already booked, sign up on the "waiting list" for that day by clicking the blue link. Our scheduling system will automatically contact you if a time you have indicated interest in becomes available.
