How do Students Schedule an Appointment?

There are multiple ways that students can schedule an appointment.

  • Students can stop by Humanities 01 to schedule an appointment with the receptionist.

  • Students can call 717-815-1296 and schedule an appointment over the phone.

  • Students can schedule online by clicking on the Writing Center icon on the myYCP homepage.

​

How Can Students Cancel an Appointment?

Students can cancel appointments through the methods they use to make an appointment.

  • Students can drop by and cancel their appointment with the receptionist.

  • Students can call  717-815-1296 to cancel their appointment over the phone.

  • Students can cancel their appointment online via the Writing Center icon on the myYCP homepage. 

 

​​Note: By cancelling an appointment the student removes their reservation in the Writing Center. Any student who does not show up for an appointment will be documented and after 3 missed appointments without cancellation will no longer be allowed to make appointments at the writing center.

​

Before Sending a Student to the Writing Center:

 

  • While tutors are adept at working with assignments from a variety of fields at York College, tutors will not be able to edit for content in most subjects. In such cases, students should be directed to a content tutor within the field.

  • While the Writing Center welcomes all students at any stage of writing process, it is often more helpful for students to come earlier in the process. When students come earlier, tutors can better address the students' writing concerns and common mistakes and show students how to overcome these problems. Students often find these earlier sessions to be more beneficial than simply going through the revision process with a tutor.
