4th floor, Teaching and Learning Complex, Hutchison Drive
Telephone: 530-754-2999
How we work : Our trained graduate and undergraduate consultants provide individualized writing support for all UCD students, faculty and staff, in both face to face and online modalities. Consultants work with writers at any stage of the writing process (even before you begin writing!), from any discipline, and in any genre, including but not limited to: course or class writing assignments, research papers, multimodal (digital) work, conference presentations, posters, personal statements, articles, publications, thesis and dissertation support.
Both face to face and online appointments are reserved for an hour, but will last up to 50 minutes. To make an appointment, use your UC Davis single sign-on and then click on an available timeslot to reserve. You can reserve up to one appointment per day and two per week. Appointments must be reserved on the hour. If there are no appointments available, please use the waitlist function. If there is a cancellation, you will be prompted with a text to return to the schedule to secure that timeslot.
How you can prepare: Please have your assignment sheet available, if applicable, and any class notes, brainstorming ideas, or professor feedback you may have. Be prepared to discuss your ideas, your writing process, and your goals for the session. If you are working on a longer project, please note that consultants can only get through 7-8 pages of writing per session, so multiple appointments may be necessary. Bring an open mind! Our consultants want to make this a generative learning experience for you, so we invite you to share with us how you best learn.
Please note, if you are more than 10 minutes late to an appointment, you will be marked as "no-show." If you have two "no-shows," your account will be deactivated. If that happens, please contact us at writingcenter@ucdavis.edu.
