DISH for Graduate Students (Online)

The Drop-in Support Hour (DISH) is an open writing group support session designed specifically for CSUN graduate students working on larger projects.

DISH is meant to provide an open space for graduate students to make progress on their writing, network with other writers, and work independently with access to writing support for specific questions. DISH attendance does not count as a Writing Center appointment. You may make additional individual appointments for one-on-one assistance.

How to sign up:

1. Log in to EAB.
2. Select the blue “Schedule appointment or view drop-in availability” button on the top right.
3. On the next screen, select “Learning Resource Center (LRC)” from the first drop-down menu.
4. Under “Reason for your appointment,” select the desired workshop. You must sign up more than one hour prior to the start of the workshop. 
5. You may input your desired date. Then, select “Find Available Time.” You will be taken to a screen which displays all currently available workshop dates and times.
6. Select the “appointment” time (the day and time of the workshop, usually displayed within an oval). 
7. Then, read the appointment details for important information, such as the Zoom link for online workshops. In the “Would you like to share anything else?” box, please include the words “proof needed” and your professor’s email address if you’d like us to send proof of attendance, and any other important information such as whether you will be joined by an interpreter.
8. Select what type of reminders you’d like to receive and then select “Schedule.”
9. You can verify and cancel your workshop registration at any time by clicking “View Appointments.”

IMPORTANT: If you need proof of attendance, please put “proof needed,” the course name, and your instructor’s name and email address in the comments box on EAB.
