Guidelines
- You may schedule up to one hour of online writing consultation time per week (pending availability).
- Appointments may be made between 2-14 days in advance.
- Plan ahead! The Nursing Graduate Student Writing Consultant has 5 hours per week available, so schedule in advance to make sure you can get the feedback you need when you need it.
- Make appointments early in the process of working on your project. You do not need a complete draft to talk with us!
