Schedule an Appointment: Students can call the Studio (740) 366-9411 or drop by and schedule a one-on-one appointment to meet with a PWC.

Drop-In: Students may come into the Studio at any time during business hours, preferably at the top of each hour, when sessions start. Consultants are not guaranteed to be available every hour for drop-ins (students are handled on a first-come, first-serve basis). Students should come in at least three days before assignments are due. Students are limited to three ½ hour tutorials per week.

Be Ready to Talk: We won't correct a paper for you, but we will help you make some informed choices! Tutorials are generally a question-answer process. Don’t be shy. As long as a student is willing to discuss their writing and thought processes then tutorials should go swimmingly.
