Writing Center Information

Writing appointments can be made for any kind of writing a student is working on for any class or career pursuit. Writing tutors providing support to students by discussing student writing needs and collaborating in order for the student to reach their writing goals. This can be anything from the initial brainstorm to structure and organization to proofreading to citations. In addition to the writing process, sessions may also include conversation about overcoming writing anxiety, writing tips, and strategies for achieving writing objectives inside and outside of school.

How to Prepare for a Writing Tutoring Session:

1. While walk-ins are welcome, making an appointment is strongly encouraged to guarantee time with a tutor. You can make appointments on WCOnline.
2. Bring or have access to your assignment guidelines.
3. Have an idea of what you want to highlight to your tutor as top priority for the session (even if that means telling your tutor you are overwhelmed and do not know where to start).
4. Try to schedule your session well in advance of the assignment due date so that you have plenty of time to make revisions and schedule follow-ups, if needed.
5. Be ready to ask lots of questions in order to accomplish your writing goals!

Additional Tutoring Information

All students who work with a tutor (online or on campus) will be asked to allow us to add a noncredit, tuition-free CRN when they sign up for appointments. This allows Lane to receive reimbursement from the state for services provided to students.

How Often Students can Meet with Tutors per Week:

Appointment times may be limited based on demand in some tutoring areas/disciplines. We have a six-appointment-per-week maximum for scheduled appointments across all areas.

What to Do About Canceled or Missed Appointments:

Can't make it? 
To cancel or reschedule, please log into WCOnline or email tutoring@lanecc.edu requesting assistance well in advance. 
No-Show or Missed Appointments
Arriving 10 minutes late (5+ minutes for sessions of 30 minutes or less) is marked as a no-show. Accruing three no-shows will automatically block the ability for you to schedule future appointments.
