NEW: This service is for undergraduate and graduate students.
To get started using the Online Drop Box (ODB), login to WCOnline and choose the Online Drop Box schedule.
This asynchronous service provides informed reader response, writing tips, and suggestions for revision. Students who want to learn specific writing strategies, talk through ideas, and/or discuss their writing process should make in-person or live-online appointments.

Consultants will read up to 10 double-spaced pages per appointment and provide written feedback 24 hours after the appointment date/start time.
- When your submission has been reviewed, you will receive 2 auto-notification emails from The Writing Center at CU Denver. The first email will contain the document you uploaded for review with comments from the consultant. The second email will ask you to "Please provide feedback..." about your session.

Other Important Policies
- This is not a copyediting service: Consultants will not edit, proofread, or rewrite text. They will provide general and specific feedback about how the writing can be improved. For more focused help on the grammatical aspects of your paper, please make an appointment for our in-person or live-online services.

- Same-day appointments via the Online Drop Box and another schedule will be canceled to prevent multiple consultants from providing simulteaneous support on the same piece of writing.
