At the Writing Center , we know that sometimes students prefer a particular tutor over another. It is our policy, however, that students cannot request a tutor. If there is a personal issue between tutor and tutee, then of course that student may request another tutor.

Can I use the computer to type my paper without seeing a tutor?

During hours of operation, students are welcome to use the Writing Center 's computer lab to type papers, conduct research, or print documents for any class.
