About Drop-in Consultations

UNLV Writing Center consultants offer short drop-in writing consultations for up to three students per hour. These sessions are ideal for students who want brief writing questions answered, feedback on short writing passages, and supervised writing time.

If one student is present, the student will receive up to 45 minutes of personalized writing support.

If more than one student is present, each student will receive 20 minutes of personalized writing support per hour.

This semester, the UNLV Writing Center hosts drop-in hours open to all undergraduate students in two locations: the ASC General Subjects Tutoring Lab and the Rebel Learning Lounge.

What to Expect

• You must check-in for tutoring services at the front desk.
• You must complete the intake sheet provided by the UNLV Writing Center consultant prior to the consultation.
• The UNLV Writing Center consultant will work with up to three students at a time. Additional students will need to wait, visit at another time, or go to the Writing Center to receive support.

Policies

You may receive no more than 45 minutes of interaction with a UNLV Writing Center consultant per day.

Required Documents

You must bring two printed copies of your piece of writing or one printed copy and a laptop or tablet. You should also bring the prompt/assignment instructions and any notes, sources, or ideas that would aid the conversation about your paper.
