Any stage
Consultants help interpret prompts, plan, organize, develop evidence, revise and edit while keeping authors responsible for decisions.
Any format
Appointments support reports, essays, résumés, posters, portfolios, speeches, theses and multimedia scripts.
Access
Choose scheduled or drop-in meetings in person or online; accessible materials and assistive technology are available.
Every stage, every format
Consultants help at any point — reading the prompt, outlining, developing evidence, revising, polishing — and for any format a Porter course assigns, including posters, presentations, portfolios and technical documentation. The writer keeps every decision.
Not a proofreading drop-off
The center is a conversation, not a service window: a consultant will not silently fix a draft and hand it back. Students who want line edits still leave understanding why the edits were made.
In and around Porter Falls
Support at Porter is deliberately clustered on the first two levels of Halvorsen Library so a student can move from an advising conversation to a tutor to a writing consultant without leaving the building or re-explaining the situation. Walk-in hours run late Monday through Thursday during the semester, and everything can also be booked through MyPorter.
The practical details
Location: Halvorsen Library, Level 2. Appointments: 45 minutes, in person or online. Any discipline: Lab reports, design rationales, résumés, theses. These specifics can shift from term to term, so confirm anything time-sensitive — a deadline, an appointment, an eligibility rule — before you count on it.
If you have a question
This is handled by Student Success Center (Halvorsen Library, Level 1). Call (715) 555-0170 or email success@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or use MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If another office turns out to own the question, they will pass it along rather than send you back to the beginning.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
