Graduate Student Services


Our consultants, certified by the College Reading and Learning Association, are generalists. They specialize in assisting writers and public speakers in a wide variety of situations. While they may not be familiar with the details of every discipline's writing style, they can work collaboratively with you to help you understand and follow the requirements of your discipline's genres for organization, grammar, style, and content. See our full description, including how to make an appointment.

The University Writing Center is not an editing or a proofreading service, but we can help you locate professional freelance editors. Or, we can help you develop the skills you need to proofread and edit your own work.
