Do You Have a Writing Project You Need Help With?
Whether you are in the drafting stage, stuck in the middle, or need editing help before submitting, the Writing Center is here to help! We can assist with assignments, research projects, scholarship applications, and graduate school essays.
Four Steps to Success
1. Make an Appointment
No matter which stage of your writing process, our tutors are here to help! Log onto our scheduling website to make an appointment.
2. Gather Your Materials
Your prompt, potential feedback, research articles, and other materials you are using or will use for the paper will help the tutor provide you with the most helpful guidance possible.
3. Meet Your Tutor
For in-person or virtual appointments, ensure you are in the Writing Center or the video conference on time and ready to discuss your work! If your appointment is virtual asynchronous, be sure to read through the comments on your paper thoroughly.
4. After Your Appointment
After your appointment, a “session report” will be added to your MyWCOnline account to explain what was discussed during your meeting. If you still have questions after your appointment, make another one!
Appointment Options
For the academic year, tutors are available for in-person tutoring at both campuses, as well as virtual tutoring. When making an appointment, you may select “face-to-face tutoring” at Hammond or Westville, “online” tutoring or “eTutoring” via email.
For eTutoring, please upload your assignment, your writing and any questions you have for the tutor. The tutor will get back to you within 48 hours, usually sooner.
