Welcome to the Writing Center!

Here at the Writing Center, we are committed to providing friendly, compassionate, and knowledgeable support that will help you become a better writer. We are happy to help you with any kind of writing: for school, for work, or for personal use.

Because you’re enrolled in one of the following courses—ENG 100, ENG 111, or ESL 168—you have a Writing Center corequisite consists of 10 writing assignments that will count as 24% of your final writing course grade.

Getting Started in the Writing Center

Where to find the Writing Center Assignments

Your assignments are available on your course Canvas site.

How to Submit Assignments

  • If you are taking an on-campus writing course, your deadlines are printed in the Writing Center Guide. You will submit your Writing Center assignments to the on-campus Writing Center (LA 327) or to the Virtual Writing Center (on Zoom) on ro before the deadline dates. (A word of advice: The Virtual Writing Center is a wonderful resource for writing help, but it’s currently not efficient at pro- cessing Writing Center assignments, so use it as a last resort.)
  • If you are taking an online, virtual, or off-campus writing course, your instrcuotr will determine your deadlines. You will submit your writing center assignments to your course Canvas site, and your instructor will grade them.
  • Your Writing Center assignments are graded Pass/Resubmit and count as 25% of your final grade in your writing course. Your instructor will get frequent update son your progress.
  • Our job in the Writing Center is to help you pass all our Writing Center assignments. If you meet or beat your deadline dates, and work with us, you should pass all the assignments.
  • We cannot accept late Writing Center assignments. If you have a late assignment, contact your classroom instructor.
  • Notice that each Writing Center assignment has a checklist for the Writing Center staff. Make sure you have fulfilled al the requirements on the checklist before submitting your assignment. Should you fail to pass an assignment, the Writing Center staff member will explain what changes need to be made.

Advice

Writing Center assignments are due on (or any day before) their deadline dates. Feel free to work ahead. Some students have all of the assignments passed well before the semester is over.

The Writing Center does not accept late assignments. If you fall behind in these as- signments, let your classroom instructor know what’s going on. The Writing Center stays in close contact with all the classroom instructors.
