How to join the Writing Center Drop-in Zoom Room using a computer
You can also join Zoom meetings using a smartphone. Here is a YouTube video we recommend with more information about how to download the Zoom app and join a meeting on your phone: How to Join Zoom Video Conference Using Your Phone
Although it is possible to join our Zoom meeting with only a landline, we recommend simply calling our phone number instead. Our phone number is (541) 917-4708. We can help you set up a phone conference appointment if you aren't able to use Zoom but would still like to meet with someone to get feedback on your writing.
How to Make a Zoom Appointment Using TutorTrac
All Learning Center appointments are scheduled with a system called TutorTrac. You can make an appointment in TutorTrac by logging in through MyLB with your Single Sign-On username and password. Simply log in, then select the "TutorTrac - Learning Center" square. From there, you can click a button at the top left that reads "Search Availability." This should give you the options available for appointment times.

About Us
The Writing Center is a place for all students to get free assistance with their writing. Our goal is to coach you through the writing process, help you to strengthen your writing, and give you the steps to become your own best editor. We do this primarily by talking to you in a one-on-one session or by sending you written feedback. When we meet with you, we want to know what your writing goals are, and together, we will determine the next steps for our time together.
Our mission is to help you navigate the complicated landscape of academic writing. We cannot guarantee an error-free paper or that you will receive a perfect grade after working with us; however, we can guarantee that we will stay present, listen with respect, and respond with compassion while working with you. Our Writing Assistants are successful student writers who have been trained to provide writing feedback. By offering you individualized writing support, we can help you to identify what is already working well in your writing, as well as what needs more attention. As you practice new skills and refine your writing process, we are here to be your cheerleaders, guides, and allies.
The Writing Center's drop-in support is still available remotely through our drop-in Zoom room. We have both in-person and online appointments that can be scheduled using TutorTrac.
