Spanish Writing Consultations

We are excited to offer Spanish writing consultations for the first time in the Writing Center this year! Spanish writing consultations will be available to ALL students writing in Spanish or who feel more comfortable speaking to their consultant in Spanish. We are no longer limiting these consultations by course or level, so students from any Spanish course are welcome to use the service. 

Who Can Book a Spanish Appointment 

Students can book a Spanish writing consultation if they are:  

  • Enrolled in any Spanish course at the undergraduate or graduate level 

  • A native or heritage Spanish speaker who prefers to speak to the consultant in Spanish even if working on writing in English  

Types of Appointments 

Spanish writing consultations are available as face-to-face or videoconference appointments. At this time, eTutoring will not be available for Spanish writing. Find more information on each type of appointment by clicking on the links: 

Spanish writing appointments will be 50 minutes long and follow the regular Writing Center policies. However, you will sign up for Spanish appointments through a different schedule in our appointment system, so please review the directions about how to book an appointment below. 

How to Book a Spanish Writing Appointment 

To make an appointment: 

  1. Enter our appointment system by clicking one of the 'Schedule an Appointment' buttons on our website and sign in with your KU Online ID and password. 

Main KU Writing Center page with the schedule button circled.

  1. If it is your first time making an appointment, you will first need to register for an account. Fill out the registration information. 

  1. IMPORTANT: To make an appointment, first choose the correct schedule: Spanish Appointments. The system defaults to the Undergraduate Appointments schedule for English writing first, so you will need to change the schedule through a drop-down menu at the top of the webpage before making an appointment. Both undergraduate and master’s students should use the same Spanish Appointments schedule in this case. Do not book on the Undergraduate Appointments schedule or the Graduate Appointments schedule, as those will not be with consultants who speak Spanish.

  1. Use the “Find an Appointment” tool to search for an available appointment. Chose the date and time you prefer and click Find Appointments. If you don’t find a good match, we recommend trying a few different times in the search because it may not show all of the available appointments. You may also switch to the calendar display to see the full week’s appointments.
