Visiting the Writing Center
Come by C1560 or call 678-3780 to make an appointment to meet at a specific time or with a specific tutor. Appointments are 30 minutes long and must be made one day ahead of time. We also provide a 30 minute walk-in tutoring service. However, during busy times there can be a significant wait for walk-in service, so it is best to make an appointment.

Online Writing Center
The Writing Center is also available online. Click on the online writing center link, complete the form and get advice within 24 hours, Monday—Thursday. If the paper comes in over the weekend, it will be available on Monday. Writing tutors will spend 30 minutes reading and responding to online requests.

FAQs about the Writing Center:
Q: What help can I expect from the Writing Center?

A: Writing Center tutors are happy to discuss your writing project at any stage. Come in and receive help with brainstorming, developing ideas, organizing and drafting, researching, documenting sources, and using correct grammar and punctuation.

Q: Will Writing Center staff proofread and edit my paper?

A: Writing Center tutors do not edit or proofread your paper. Instead, they will point out recurring grammar or punctuation issues and help you recognize and correct them yourself.

Q: Is it better to make an appointment or just walk-in?

A: Appointments receive priority over walk-in service, so at busy times in the semester, it’s best to make an appointment. With an appointment, you’re guaranteed a 30 minute session without waiting.

Q: What should I bring to the session?

A: Please bring the assignment instructions, what you have written so far, and specific goals for the session.
