Refer a Student
Note to Faculty: A referral to the Writing Center should not be considered a punishment for poor work. This form will help Writing Consultants make appropriate suggestions and provide timely help. Writers may schedule an appointment using this website.
It is important not to send a writer to us for more than one or two concerns. For writers who need lots of work, I recommend several appointments, each for specific issues (one referral, say, for planning and invention, another for paragraphing, a third for punctuation).
When making a referral, faculty may also wish to give a writer specific written instructions about what the Consultant should address. Consultants will have access to this form online, before a writer visits the Center.
