• Undergraduate students: you may schedule one 30-minute appointment per week, with a limit of fifteen visits in a full term (seven in a half term), including walk-ins.
• Graduate students: you may schedule one 60-minute appointment per week, with a limit of seven visits in a full term (four in a half term), including walk-ins.
• Students who are non-native English speakers: you may schedule one 45-minute appointment per week with an ELI (English Language Institute) instructor during Fall and Winter terms.
• Appointments can be scheduled up to four days in advance. Please note that only one scheduled appointment per week is permitted, in order for Sweetland to help as many students as possible.
• You can also receive help on a walk-in basis if there are openings in the schedule and you have not reached your limit of visits.

• Undergraduates: Writing Workshop instructors can help with University of Michigan course writing assignments at any stage in the writing process. So that instructors may dedicate their limited time to helping students with their academic writing, personal materials - including graduate school application essays, personal statements, or resumes - cannot be reviewed. However, these personal materials may be taken to the Sweetland Peer Tutoring Centers.
• Graduates: Writing Workshop instructors can help with University of Michigan course writing assignments, dissertation chapters, conference papers, articles, grant proposals, and/or fellowship applications that are at any stage in the writing process.
• Although you may bring your laptop, Writing Workshop instructors also request a hard copy of the material being discussed.
• If you are seeking assistance with take-home exams, you must have your instructor forward permission to sweetlandinfo@umich.edu at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. Sweetland appreciates your compliance with university standards for academic integrity.

• Please schedule, modify, and cancel your own appointments online. You may contact the Sweetland information desk at 734.764.0429 if you encounter technical difficulties with the scheduling system, or have questions about your appointment.
• If for any reason you need to modify or cancel an appointment, please do so at least 90 minutes prior to the appointment time. This allows Sweetland to assist as many students as possible. Thank you for your courtesy to our instructors and your fellow students!
• Please arrive in a timely manner. If you are more than 10 minutes late, you will lose your appointment. Arriving on time ensures that you and the instructor will have ample time to discuss your writing. Keep in mind: appointments do not run on "Michigan time."
• If you miss an appointment, you will be unable to schedule another appointment for one week. You will be notified via E-mail when this occurs. Although you won’t be able to make an appointment, you are still welcome to utilize Sweetland’s walk-in services.
• If you miss two appointments, you will be unable to schedule an appointment for the remainder of the semester; however, you may continue to use our services on a walk-in basis.
• If the Sweetland Center for Writing needs to cancel your appointment due to instructor illness, you will be notified by email as soon as possible. We will make every effort before canceling an appointment to reschedule the appointment with an alternative instructor at the same time as the original appointment.
