5. If you would like to book a virtual session, please indicate your request for a virtual session in the “reason for appointment” section.
6. After you have booked a session, you will receive a confirmation email with details regarding the day, time, and location of the appointment. If you requested a virtual session, your appointment will be switched from in-person to virtual and you will be sent a meeting link. All virtual sessions are held via MS Teams.

8. Arrive a few minutes before the start of your appointment. If you have not arrived for the session after 10 minutes of its start time, you will be marked as a “no show” and will have to re-book your session at a different date and time or attend a drop-in session.

Please note: If a student is marked as a “no show” on three or more occasions, they will need to email Writing Services at csas@carleton.ca in order to discuss booking sessions in the future. To avoid this, please ensure that you cancel your session at least 24 hours in advance if you are unable to attend.
