Yes — the Acadia Writing Centre welcomes drop-in visits! If you have a quick question or need help on the spot, feel free to stop by. If a tutor isn’t already booked with another student, they’ll be happy to meet with you.
Here’s how it works:
-
🕒 Drop in anytime during Writing Centre hours — no appointment needed
-
🧑🏫 If a tutor is available, they’ll meet with you right away
-
📅 If all tutors are booked, you can schedule a session through ACORN or wait for the next opening
-
📝 Bring your assignment draft, instructions, and any questions you have — even a short visit can make a big difference
Tip: Drop-ins are great for last-minute questions, but if you know you’ll need focused help, booking ahead ensures you get a full session.

Drop-in availability depends on tutor schedules — early in the day or mid-week may offer better chances
-
You can bring a printed copy or your laptop to work digitally
-
Tutors won’t edit your paper — they’ll help you learn how to revise it yourself
-
If you’re working on a thesis or major project, consider booking a longer session
