Writing Center

Summer Hours and Online Tutoring

The Writing Center is open this summer! We are offering regular face-to-face hours in the center in 402 Neville Hall as well as online tutoring services. To sign up for face-to-face tutorials and to view our schedule, visit our website.

For online appointments,

Before your appointment:

• Sign in to your @maine.edu Google account.
• Add your document to your Google Drive.
• Share your document to umwcenter@maine.edu through Google Drive before your appointment.
• Put the link to your document in your appointment request form.

To attend your appointment:

• Appoints are held through Google Hangouts.
• To access Google Hangouts (and Google Drive), click on the Google apps icon in the upper right corner of a new tab of Google Chrome (it looks like a square). For Hangouts, click More on the dropdown menu. Hangouts is in the bottom middle.
• At the time of your appointment, send us a message by searching our email address above.
• Your tutor will give you a call!

Please note that online tutors accept appointments to fit their schedule and hours and will not be continuously available like regular face-to-face tutorials. Because of this, please plan accordingly and make an online appointment at least 24 hours in advance.
