Do you want to feel more confident about your writing? Do you need help making sure you are "doing it right"? Do you want to learn how to organize your ideas or how to effectively use semi-colons? No matter what your needs are or what your writing project is, the peer tutors at the Writing Center are dedicated to helping you to find ways to draft and revise that work for you so you can become the successful writer you want to be.

To help you meet your goals, the Writing Center has three types of sessions; each one gives you a different kind of writing support so you can choose what you need most at any given writing moment. You don’t have to have finished your paper, or have even started writing! You can come with just the assignment sheet, your notes or ideas, or a draft – and you can always come with questions.

Fifteen minute drop-in and 30-minute appointment sessions are free.  A 30-minute writing appointment can be scheduled by calling (520-626-0530) or stopping by any location.  The one-hour individual appointment sessions are fee based.

When should I make a 30-minute appointment?

The 30 minute, free appointments are there if you want to…

• Want to work on overall issues with structure, formatting, or expression
