The Center for Reading and Writing (CRW) offers one-on-one consulting sessions in writing and reading to students on all academic levels, both virtually and in-person. We can help you in all stages of the writing process, from brainstorming to polishing final papers. If you need reading strategies for difficult texts, we are here to assist with those, too. We also offer a wide variety of workshops from study skills to MLA, APA, and Chicago documentation styles. CRW services are open to all Ramapo students.

End-of-Semester Cancelation and No-Show Policy

The CRW gets extremely busy in the last few weeks of the semester, so we must optimize opportunities for students to utilize appointments. Consequently, if you make an appointment and don’t show up, or you cancel an appointment on the same day, you will received a warning email saying that if another appointment is missed or canceled the same day, you will be unable to schedule any further appointments this semester.  Of course, we understand when emergencies occur, so if that is the case, we invite you to send the consultant you made an appointment with and Susan Auger (sauger@ramapo.edu) a message explaining why you had to miss the session.
