The OSU Writing Center offers three types of appointments:

Face to Face
This in-person option allows you to meet with a consultant at one of our Writing Center locations. You do not need to upload your paper prior to a Face to Face appointment.

Written Feedback
This option allows you to upload a document for written feedback.

• Your consultant will use the appointment time to read and respond to your paper.
• Please upload your document as a Word Doc or PDF at least 15 minutes prior to the start of your appointment time.

Video Conference
A Video Conference is a synchronous online session with a consultant.

• Writers have the option to use the video or, if they prefer, conduct the session using chat only.
• If you select this option, please log in to the system at least 5 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. All appointments are scheduled in Central Time (USA).
• You do not need to upload your paper prior to a Video Conference.

All Writing Center appointments are 25 minutes in duration. When you register for an appointment, you can indicate that you are available to extend your appointment to 45 minutes, subject to Writing Center Consultant availability.
