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.

Use of Gen AI: If you have used GenAI or other tools or technologies during your composition process, you are still responsible for the words and claims in your work. We welcome an active and thoughtful conversation with you about the content and form of your writing.

Writing Workshop sessions are intended to be collaborative, respectful, and productive. Sessions may conclude early if all questions have been addressed or if the discussion is no longer productive.

Privacy Statement: Reproduction or sharing of consultants' comments in part or in full with any other people, services, or AI program is strictly prohibited.

We look forward to meeting with you!
