Writing Appointments

The GSC offers free one-on-one Writing Appointments to all CSUF graduate students. Our skilled Writing Consultants are happy to help you with any writing assignment you encounter in your graduate program. Writing appointments are interactive and collaborative sessions. Remember that Writing Consultants are not editors and cannot make changes to your work. Please note the following about writing appointments:

Students may make one appointment per week. Appointments are set for one hour and are hosted via Zoom.
Appointments can be booked up to 2 weeks in advance and can fill up quickly, so book well in advance of your assignment due dates. If no dates and times are shown on TitanNet, all of our writing appointment times have been claimed. We invite you to regularly check the appointment system in the event of cancellations.
Appointments are currently available in the fall and spring semesters.
If you are an undergraduate student in need of writing support, please visit the CSUF Writing Center. If you are interested in receiving support related to resumes, cover letters, and graduate school application materials, the CSUF Career Center provides in-person and Zoom advising.

Private Study Room Reservation

The GSC has a private study room that can be reserved by current graduate students. This small room includes a large whiteboard, one desk, two chairs, and charging outlets, and can comfortably accommodate a maximum of 3 students. As the GSC only has one private study room available, students are limited to booking the room for a maximum of 3 consecutive hours per day. Students can book the study room up to 2 weeks in advance, but same-day booking is not allowed. Students may use the study room on a first-come, first-served basis if the study room is not reserved. The GSC has the right to cancel reservations for any reason without warning. The GSC private study room is only available for reservation during the fall and spring semesters.

If using the room, you are responsible for cleaning up after yourself and restoring the room to the condition you found it in. The GSC is not responsible for any items left unattended in the room. The GSC closes at 7pm Mondays through Thursdays, and Fridays at 5pm. Please promptly vacate the room shortly before closing. By creating an appointment, you agree to these terms of use. If the private study room is not available during the time(s) you are interested in booking, additional rooms can be reserved throughout Pollak Library.
