Appointments
Standard
Standard, face-to-face consultations start at the top of the hour and are 45 minutes (40 minutes plus a 5-minute revision plan). Consultations are one-on-one appointments that focus on a single, or at most two, assignment(s) or document(s). Any writer with an active USF U# (student, faculty, or staff) can schedule a face-to-face consultation. Log in to Accudemia to schedule an appointment or call our front desk at 813-974-8293.
Online
Online appointments follow the same structure as Standard consultations, but are held via Blackboard Collaborate Ultra in the Writing Studio's Canvas course: Writing Studio Online. To schedule an online appointment please call our front desk at (813) 974-8293.
Expectations for Online Consultations
- Writers scheduling online consultations for the FIRST TIME must do so at least 24 hours in advance. If an online consultation is scheduled for the first time without at least a 24-hour lead time, the appointment may be subject to cancellation.
- Writers must have reliable access to the Internet.
iSessions
iSessions are similar to standard consultations but are iPad enhanced. iSessions use the iOS application Notability, and offer audio recordings of the session as well as a digital document of any notes from the session that can be emailed to the writer. Before the session, email your document(s) (if any) to usfisessions@gmail.com. If you have access to Notability (available on any Apple device, including laptops, iPads, iPhones, and iPods), you can view the document in real-time. iSessions can be scheduled in advance, but any consultant that is a designated iSessions consultant automatically conducts iSessions.
