Scheduling Appointments

Making Appointments

1. Log into TracCloud. You can book up to 30 days and no less than 2 hours in advance. If you’d like to make a last-minute appointment, email us at wcpapers@hamilton.edu and we will try to accommodate you.
2. Choose your class and the language that you're writing in. If you’re looking for help developing your English language communication skills, select “Multilingual Support.” 
3. Click Search and choose the time that works for you. You will then need to answer additional questions to help us prepare for your conference.

Canceling Appointments

Go to the list of Upcoming Appointments on your TracCloud homepage. Click the X next to the one you want to cancel. You must cancel at least 2 hours in advance.  

Excessive last-minute cancellations or missed appointments may affect your ability to book future appointments.

Submitting Drafts

If you have a draft, you must email it and your assignment to wcpapers@hamilton.edu:

0-5 pages, at least 2 hours before your conference.                                                                                            6-9 pages, 12 or more hours before your conference.                                                                                      10-20 pages, 24 or more hours before your conference. 

We can only discuss 20 pages maximum per conference. If you are working on a longer draft, you will need to schedule multiple conferences.

Conference Tips

You can use a conference to begin the writing process–to create an outline or expand one, or to brainstorm ideas, thesis statements, etc. 

We can support writing you’re doing outside of your courses, including on resumes, cover letters, personal statements, and scholarship essays. 

TracCloud shows the tutor associated with each appointment in the upper-right corner of the booking selections. You can click on the name to see the tutor’s bio. Our website also shows all of our tutors and their bios.
