ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you need to modify or cancel your appointment, please do so at least 60 minutes prior to your appointment time to make space for other students seeking appointments.
Arriving on time ensures that you and the consultant will have ample time to discuss your writing. If you are 10 or more minutes late, we cannot work with you effectively, and we will need to cancel your appointment. You are still welcome to use Sweetland’s walk-in services.
Undergraduates, if you are seeking assistance with cover letters, resumes, personal statements, application materials, or other non-course-related writing, please visit our Peer Writing Center. See our Undergraduate Writing Support page for full information.
Graduates, you may bring in course assignments, dissertation chapters, conference papers, articles, research proposals and fellowship statements. We cannot work on complete applications, cover letters or resumes. See our Graduate Writing Support page for full information.
Accommodations: Please contact us if you need to request accommodations to have an effective WW consultation. It would help us greatly if you give us advance notice by emailing sweetlandww@umich.edu about any steps we could take to make this consultation fully accessible for you.
Usage Note: It's a privilege to get to work with you! To better establish trust and mutuality in our consultations, our PWCs and consultees agree to never reproduce each other's work in part or in full. Consultation participants commit to never submitting any of either party's comments or writing to an AI program without explicit consent from both people. For our program, consent includes specifying which LLMs and which words are okay to involve.
