Writing Center Policy

What does the Writing Center offer to students?

Students can receive assistance at any stage of the writing process:

brainstorming ideas
organizing the writing assignment
grammar, punctuation, mechanics

revision
polishing the final draft

Tutors also read assignments besides essays. They offer help on any writing assignment across the circumlunar in any course or discipline at any level, from undergraduate to post gradate work, including these writing assignments:

Essays required with applications to degree programs, scholarships, or job applications

Grammar exercises from workbooks

Clinical reports for students in PTEP, Nursing, and other programs

Creative Writing Projects.

Services the Writing Center does not provide:

The Writing Center tutors do not proofread papers, so when you schedule an appointment give a specific problem that you need help with.

Tutors do not edit or proofread papers that have been "dropped off"; instead,student and tutor will discuss the problems the paper has. Students can expect their tutor to give them good instruction that will help correct problems.

Appointment Length:

Most appointments are half an hour; however, students can schedule one hour appointments. Students may schedule 90 minutes of tutoring per week.

What to bring to the appointment:

  • your writing assignment
  • the assignment (any material that your instructor has given to help the tutor understand the assignment)
  • textbook, class notes, anything that will help understand the assignment
  • concerns and problems you want to address during the tutoring session

Working with your favorite tutor:

You can request your favorite tutor, but he or she may not be available. View the List of Writing Center Tutors
