Writing Consultations

• You schedule your consultation for your chosen time in the scheduler (linked here).
• You and your consultant meet in Packer House.
• You are encouraged to submit your document at least 24 hours prior to the consultation. This gives the consultant time to read and craft meaningful feedback before you meet. 

• You schedule your consultation for your chosen time in scheduler (linked here).
• You and your consultant meet in real time via the Video Chat link that is available in the scheduler.
• You are encouraged to submit your document at least 24 hours prior to the consultation. This gives the consultant time to read and craft meaningful feedback before you meet. 

• You schedule your consultation for your chosen day and time in the scheduler (linked here).
• You and your consultant do not meet.
• You submit your work before the start of your appointment time on your appointment day.
• A writing consultant will read your work and provide written feedback via the scheduler within 30 minutes of the end of your scheduled appointment time.

That is kind of up to you. You can schedule either a 30-minute or a 60-minute writing consultation. It depends on your needs. 

Yes. In order to make sure everyone who wants a consultation can get one, writers are limited to 2 consultations per week. 

Great question! Writing Consultants can be outside, interested, but non-expert audiences for you. We can work with you on any aspect of writing from brainstorming, to research design, to grammatical constructions, and everything in-between.

We ask that you provide basic information regarding the kind of project you are working on, who your professor or PI is for this project, a description of the project guidelines / assignment, and the kind of assistance you are looking for. When possible, it is good to include any rubric or assignment description provided by your professor. This helps consultants to provide more targeted feedback. Knowing what kind of assistance you are looking for helps the consultant better prepare for your consultation. 

We also ask that you try to upload your document (if you have one) at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled consultation time. This gives the consultant time to read and craft meaningful feedback before you meet. 

Yep, there are. 

• For any consultation format, your consultant will only wait for 10 minutes. After that time, you will be marked as "missed."
• Once you have missed 2 consultations in a semester, you will no longer be able to schedule future consultations until you have spoken with the Director.
• Please try to submit documents that are clear of comments from others (unless you would like help deciphering those comments). This helps to keep your consultant's feedback clear and accessible.
• Use your Lehigh University account for all communications and interactions with GLO staff.
• After attaching your document to your appointment, return to your appointment to ensure your document successfully attached.
