Need to see a tutor but don’t have an appointment? Here is what you need to know!
Since its inception, the OWRC developed a strong reputation as one of the best tutoring centers on campus. While that means most of your sessions at our center will be productive, it also means that we're in high demand and appointments fill up fast. If we are booked on day, date, and/or time that you need to see a tutor, here is what you need to do:
STEP ONE: Check and see if you can make an appointment online. This is the only way to guarantee you’ll be seen by a tutor on our staff on the day, date and/or time you need us. To complete this task, please visit the following webpage: http://www.depts.washington.edu/owrc/signup.php. It should be noted that on average, 5-7 appointments open up (often last-minute) on daily basis so don’t be afraid to check this page more than once.
STEP TWO: If there are no online appointments available, please visit our center, take a seat, and wait to see if a tutor finishes a session early and/or has a no-show or cancellation. Please note that we almost always have 1-3 no-show openings throughout the day so those with patience will likely be rewarded. NOTE: While we have a comfy sofa, computers for student use, as well as some board games and cards on hand, we recommend you bring your homework to have something to do while you wait. Also, for those of you with notebook computers, the center is equipped with multiple AC outlets and a wifi connection).
STEP THREE: Lastly, we encourage you to investigate other writing centers on campus. For a complete listing of all UW writing centers, please visit: http://faculty.washington.edu/jwholmes/uwwrite.html
Good luck! We hope we’re able to assist you!
