Syllabus statement

The University Writing Center offers free writing assistance for all UAB students. We help at any stage of the writing process and with any type of writing. Students may meet with a tutor in person or via Zoom. They may also upload a paper for feedback (called eTutoring in our online system). During in-person and Zoom sessions, tutors can help at any stage of the writing process: tutors can help you understand your assignment, develop and organize your ideas, use and cite sources, revise and edit your draft, and more. When you upload a draft for an eTutoring session, tutors can provide feedback on both big-picture issues and detail-oriented concerns; please note that you must upload a draft and assignment sheet to use eTutoring.

To make an appointment or get more information, please see the UWC website. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for daily news and quick writing tips.
