- Appointments are 50 minutes in length. Around the 45-minute point, the Writing Center Fellow will begin to wrap up the session and talk with you about an action plan. Students working on longer projects (like senior theses or term papers longer than 8 pages) may find it helpful to book a 2-hour block in order to give the Fellow more time to read the draft. 2-hour appointments end at the 90-minute point to allow for time for the Fellow to enter records about the session and take a break.
