Individual In-Person and Online Appointments

The Graduate Writing Center offers individual appointments both in person (masks appreciated) in our Howe Library suite and online via Teams. For an in-person appointment, your consultant will meet you at the UVM Writing Centers reception desk on the ground floor of Howe Library. For online appointments, your consultant will call you on Teams at the appointment time.

Graduate Writing Retreats

Our weekly graduate writing retreats offer you extended time for independent writing in the company of other graduate students and with the option of meeting with a consultant anytime during the retreat. Register through our appointment calendar.

Review & Meet Appointments

If you have a long or technical draft of up to 20 pages, you can make a two-part Review and Meet appointment with the same consultant (in-person or online). Mark the first appointment Review and upload or link your draft. You won’t attend this appointment. Instead, your consultant will spend the hour getting familiar with your project. Mark the second appointment Meet. This is when you will meet your consultant (in person or online), ready to launch into discussion.

Writing Resources

In addition to in-person and online support, graduate writers have access to valuable writing resources.

Group Online Appointments

If you are part of a writing team, have one team member make the appointment and make sure all team members have registered with WCOnline. Include their names and netids on the appointment form. Your consultant will set up a Teams meeting and send out invitations to your group.

Thesis & Dissertation Camps

Camps offer graduate students several hours of distraction-free writing supported by healthy meals and the option of meeting with a graduate writing consultant.
