Student Writing Center

The Student Writing Center uses Starfish to book all appointments. Please read the information below before scheduling.

Appointment types:

• Appointments are offered either in person on the Center City Campus or virtually.
• If your schedule does not allow for a live conversation, we can offer written feedback through email. Book an appointment for "Written Feedback Only."
• Pick an appointment length based on your needs. We recommend a 30-minute session for papers between 1-3 pages and an hour for papers between 4-10 pages.

Reminders:

• If you have a document that is longer than 10 pages, please email us to determine how we can best support you with one or more appointments.
• Please only schedule one appointment per week. We can sometimes offer follow-up appointments within the same week, but please email us to check first.
• If you are unable to book an appointment at a time that works with your schedule, please email us to discuss other options.
