What is the Term-Long Program?
The Term-Long Program (TLP) pairs you with one of our peer writing consultants for an entire term. You and your partner make your own schedule, meeting one or two hours a week (or 8-10 hours per term). Meeting times can be as flexible or fixed as you like.
What can I work on with my TLP partner?
You can discuss your classes and assignments, get feedback on ideas or drafts, receive support in setting writing goals, and maybe even make a new friend! Some writer/consultant pairs continue working together over multiple terms.
What kinds of writers does the TLP work best for?
The program is a commitment and works best for students taking writing-rich courses or who otherwise expect to be writing on a weekly basis. Compsing seniors, sophomores working on portfolios, and multilingual writers are also great fits for the TLP.
Okay! I am ready to get involved!
Great! Stop by Libe 420D to speak with the Assistant Director & Coordinator of Multilingual Writing Support, Kristen Vogel, send an email to kvogel@carleton.edu, or apply here.
Remember: Apply before the first week of classes each term as soon as you know you want a partner. Applying doesn’t guarantee a spot in the TLP.
Applications are CLOSED for Spring 2026. Applications for Fall 2026 will open in Spring Week 8. Please reach out to Kristen (kvogel@carleton.edu) with any questions.
