Can I drop in for writing help at Acadia 🔹 Do I need an appointment to meet with a tutor 🔹 Is walk-in tutoring available 🔹 What if I have a quick question about my paper 🔹 Can I get help without booking through ACORN

Find out whether Acadia University’s Writing Centre offers drop-in tutoring and how to access help without a scheduled appointment.

Yes — the Acadia Writing Centre welcomes drop-in visits! If you have a quick question or need help on the spot, you’re encouraged 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:

• 🕒 Visit 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 — even a short visit can make a big difference

Tip: Drop-ins are great for last-minute questions, brainstorming, or quick feedback. For deeper help, booking ahead ensures you get a full session.

• 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
