Welcome

Welcome to the Writing Center!

The Writing Center is a free tutorial service where students can receive assistance with any type of writing assignment during any stage of the process! Visit a Writing Center either face-to-face, virtually (online with video and audio), or by submitting your completed essay for written feedback. The centers do take walk-in appointments if a tutor is available, but, if you can, reserve a session ahead of time using the specific center's scheduling portal (below). 

See the tutorial videos below to learn how to schedule, edit, or cancel an appointment as well as how to attend an online appointment. Also, see below for the different center locations, contact information, and specific links for each center's schedule.
