Faculty
The University Writing Center can help your students with any type of writing and at any stage of the writing process. If requested by your student, we can send you brief reports of tutoring sessions so you can award students credit and stay up to date on their progress.
You have several options for telling your students about the UWC:
- Include our syllabus statement and contact info on your syllabi.
- In Canvas, link to our website, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn pages.
- Request a classroom visit by emailing
