robert - i, also, was wondering how she could possibly make that many
appointments in one week. ; one other thing - i think that she may be
taking away time from our students. i do not write anything for her;
i make her write it herself; however, she comes in with her book and
tries to go through several exercises in one session.

I checked the WCOnline settings; it should not be possible for any
student to make more than two 30-minute appointments in a single week.
Any idea how she is getting in? is she actually on the online
schedule? I'd like to know, just in case I need to send this as a tech
problem to the Rich Co. people.

Also: is she (possibly) ADA? Of course, we don't get paperwork on such
students; and don't really need to. But I do remember working with a
student a year ago who was clearly unable to process information very
well; so, I redefined what we could do, and went as far as I could. We
don't need to worry beyond that, I think.

So, if she's limited to twice a week -- 30 minutes only each time, as
for everyone! -- she shouldn't be taking away time from HCC students.
Part of the thinking at writing centers, when they are "open," is that
it's good advertising for the institution overall. Most seem to follow
that policy, from my research -- at public institutions, anyway.

I will talk to Selena about how to make sure no one over-uses the
Writing Center; it's not being stingy -- it's encouraging independence
in students as writers. Too much help is not helpful.

Students need to make their own appointments. We've had a few exceptions in which students have called or came in between classes and can't access the system. In this case we canceled their appointments or changed the time. Only full administrators can add students for more than two appointments per week.
