Academic Writing Center
The McMicken Writing Center is merging with the LAC to form the new Academic Writing Center in Fall Semester 2012!
The AWC is open Monday - Thursday 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. and Friday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The new Academic Writing Center provides UC students with two different approaches to writing assistance. Students can choose to schedule an appointment with an AWC tutor or visit the PEER (Peer Experts on Essays and Reports) Drop-in Center.
The AWC is located in 149 McMicken Hall.
Appointments with an AWC tutor are ideal for:
- Students with papers exceeding 2-3 pages
- Students looking for more in-depth or specific revision assistance
Times and Dates:
Online scheduling will become available during the first week of each semester.
Appointments will be available beginning the Wednesday of the first week of each semester and will run through the last day of classes (no services offered during finals week).
Please click here for scheduling.
Drop-in to see an AWC PEER for:
- Students with short assignments (2-3 pages) who are looking for general feedback
Times and Dates:
Open Monday - Friday 12 p.m. - 4 p.m. in the AWC.
Tutors will be available beginning the Wednesday of the first week of each semester and will run through the last day of classes (no services offered during finals week).
For Distance Learning students, the Online Writing Lab provides the same help that on-campus students experience each day:
- Access the Online Writing Lab at etutoring.org
- Students may submit their writing assignments and receive revision suggestions from tutors within 24-48 hours
The Academic Writing Center does not provide editing or proofreading assistance. However, tutors can address grammatical or mechanical issues within a tutoring session.
In addition to the Academic Writing Center, the LAC also offers Learning Resources, which include a number of useful writing tips!
