Cancellations/No-Shows: The Writing Center serves a growing number of students across campus. The Writing Center has adopted the following policies to ensure that we are able to meet these needs.
• Students who cannot attend their sessions must cancel appointment 1 hour prior to meeting time;
• Students who fail to cancel appointments and do not attend sessions on time will be marked as No Shows;
• Students are marked as No Shows after 10 minutes;
• After two No-Shows, students will not be able to make appointments in advance on our online system, but can come to the Writing Center as a walk-in. Accounts are reset at the beginning of each long semester;

General Information: Consultants assist students with all phases of the invention, writing, and revision process for their academic assignments, but consultants do not proofread nor edit papers and do not have expertise in style and formatting guidelines. Consultants will help students identify repeating grammar errors and also will assist students in learning to better understand and use appropriate style guides. The UTA Writing Center has numerous resources on their website that students can access anytime, at http://www.uta.edu/owl/Resources.html.

Consultants cannot assist students on written examinations or on grammar worksheets that have been assigned as homework.
