All students, faculty, and staff are welcome to visit us for a consultation, no matter their background or level of expertise. Students can bring in papers from any course in any discipline. We also serve the community, but please be aware that we must give priority to our students.

Our funding comes from the college, so you pay for our services with tuition and lab fees. No additional fees apply, not even for printing. Because of this, we have to limit printing to your original writing (not articles or websites) and writing consultation to a maximum of two sessions per day.

We are located in Building G (between the Library and the University Center), Room G103.

Our current hours of operation are posted on the home page of The Write Place website Service Hours .

Appointments are not required but are strongly recommended. Sometimes, we get booked up or have an unexpected rush of walk-in visitors. Making an appointment is the only way to be sure you will get the help you need when you need it.

Your scheduled writing tutor will wait for ten minutes before considering you a no-show, and the tutor will start working with the next person.

When you come, sign in to Accudemia. Enter your ID# and indicate the service you would like. Please come in and feel free to access a computer or some of our printed resources.

A typical help session lasts 30 minutes. We may not be able to read your entire paper, but 30 minutes is usually enough time to answer specific questions, identify any recurring problems, and formulate a plan for addressing these issues. Our goal is not to "fix" your paper but to strengthen your skills as a writer.

If you plan to get help on a particular assignment or writing project, be sure to bring any pertinent information that you have: its description, instructions, grading rubric, etc. If you have already started writing the paper, be ready with a printed copy of what you have so far.

We focus on identifying writing issues and will not "take over" your paper. If we merely edit, then part of your work is ours. 

Read, read, read! Write, write, write! Reading gives writers a better feel for how other people use words and formulate arguments. It can also be a good reminder of how readers engage with and respond to other people's writings. Every paper you write gives you more writing experience and strengthens your abilities. Graded essays and feedback from instructors can be valuable resources to help improve writing skills. In addition to simple practice, you can also improve your skills by checking out our various reference materials: books, handouts, and a web resources page full of links organized by writing issues.

Yes, as long as you are working on an academic task.

All of our computers are already connected to our center's printer, so just select "Print." Note: If you need to print out some of your writing in order to sit down with a writing tutor and look over it, you can do this for free here. 

While we are by no means technology wizards, we do offer basic computer assistance as needed. For example, we can help you adjust your document to meet your instructor's formatting requirements.

Feel free to work with your favorite tutor yet we encourage our clients to work with a variety of writing tutors. Each one is qualified and brings their unique perspective to the table.

Certainly! We encourage outside-of-class writing projects and are happy to work with any type of writing you bring in, such as college applications and resumes.

Yes, we support ESOL student and community members.

Please refer your students to this website for general information about our services.

Whenever you work with a writing tutor, you will complete a help session form that notes your writing concerns, goals for the consultation, issues discussed, and plans for revision or future study. We scan this copy for our records and give you the original to show your professor. Be sure to complete the top portion of the form accurately to get the credit you have come to us for.
