Making Appointments and Late Policy

Phone or In Person

To make an appointment, please call the University Writing Center at 815-753-6636. You may also stop by in person to make an appointment.


Late Policy and No Shows

We realize that sometimes late happens, but our Writing Center life must go on even if you're running late.

  • If you are 5 minutes late for a 25 minute appointment, you have lost that appointment and will need to reschedule.
  •  If you are 10 minutes late for a 50 minute appointment, you have lost that appointment and will need to reschedule.

No Shows

Someone else would love to have your appointment if you can't make it, so please call and cancel if you won't be coming. Simply not showing up for an appointment you made prevents others from getting the help they need and has consequences. If you do that twice, you will no longer be allowed to make appointments.
