Our Location: 105H Egan Hall
We are next to Academic Support Services and across from the student lounge. Welcome to the Writing Center, a place where FUS students can receive assistance with their writing assignments throughout all stages of the writing process. Whether you're struggling to find a topic for a research paper or you just need an additional perspective to critique a draft in progress, our peer writing consultants can help. Please note, however, that the Writing Center does not function as a drop-off editorial service. While our writing consultants are happy to proofread papers, they do so with the objective of helping students become better writers. Consultants do not correct errors or make revisions as students passively observe. Rather, visitors to the Writing Center are expected to take full ownership of their work, incorporating (or disregarding) feedback from consultants as they deem appropriate.
Tutoring is free for students enrolled at FUS. Sessions usually last for half an hour and are scheduled by appointment only. (If time slots are available, visitors can schedule on-the-spot appointments in the Writing Center.) First-time visitors are encouraged to read the "Policies & Procedures" section prior to making an appointment. Visitors are also encouraged to leave feedback about their experiences at the Center so that we can continue to strive for excellence in providing our services.
