PLEASE READ the text below, which contains important information about our operation during the summer and will be posted on our website shortly.

The RWIT Staff ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summer 2011 Schedule *IMPORTANT: Read Thoroughly.* Please note that during the summer we run an on-call service AND the procedure for scheduling an appointment is different. (Detailed instructions below.) In order to see a tutor, you MUST make an appointment; we will not take walk-in clients. Furthermore, all appointments must be made at least 24 hours before you wish to meet with a tutor. How to Make an Appointment (Summer 2011) First-time clients, please follow these steps in order to create your Client Record: o Click on "Make an Appointment". o Log in on Dartmouth's Web Authentication page. o At the Writing Program Database page, click on "Create RWIT Client Record". o Fill in the form, click "Review" at the bottom of the page, and click "Submit" at the top of the page when you're ready. o You will be sent back to the opening page where a link to the Scheduler will appear. o Now follow the instructions below. To schedule your appointment: o On the Writing Program Database click "Scheduler". o To view our weekly calendar with tutors' names and hours, click the "Show Timetable" button. To make an appointment, click on the "Back to Scheduler" link at the bottom of the page. o Click on the "Show Calendar" button. o Click on the date you want or the "Show Week" link to see more details. REMEMBER: All appointments must be made at least 24 hours in advance. No exceptions. o Use the drop-down menu to select a tutor. NOTE: During the summer, you cannot select "No Preference", or else you will not be helped. o Click on the "Select" button. o Your scheduled appointment will be listed at the top of the page. Please make a note of it. To confirm your appointment (summer only): o Email the tutor immediately (not on the database) to confirm your appointment. He or she will reply in a timely fashion to verify it. o Please do NOT assume that you are meeting with a tutor unless he or she has acknowledged your request. We institute this policy to protect clients during the summer, since tutors only work at the Center when they know they have an appointment.
