What to Expect:
If you have a video conference appointment you’ll meet with one of our staff using our online scheduling software. Just log back into the schedule, open your appointment and click on the START OR JOIN ONLINE CONSULTATION. You’ll be able to see and talk to our staff and upload your paper to a shared whiteboard. Make sure to close Zoom and any other program that uses your camera to make it available to our system. Your tutor will ask you about your assignment, your goals for the piece and the concerns you'd like addressed.
How to Prepare:
Make sure to have a copy of your assignment and any other materials that you think will be helpful available during your appointment. It also helps to read back through your work carefully before your appointment so you know what questions to ask and where you would like to focus.
