7. 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.
