Online Consultations

Using our online service, IU East and IU Online students can submit questions or papers 24/7 (excluding campus holidays). Papers must be submitted as Microsoft Word documents. Simply log in with your IU user name and passphrase. Once you have logged in to Upswing, click on "Upload an assignment for review" and follow the on-screen instructions to submit your paper.

Regarding papers, the daily submission per undergraduate student is 10 double-spaced pages, and the daily submission per graduate student is 20 double-spaced pages (Master's level only). Students may submit the same paper twice provided they have revised after the first submission. Consultants may need between 12-24 hours (excluding campus holidays) to reply to your questions or review your papers.
