Welcome to the Writing Center!  Our Center--located in Swenson 1030-- provides free assistance to any and all UW-Superior students with the writing they do for their classes, no matter the discipline.  Students can find help with all stages of the writing process from our peer consultants.  Both face-to-face and online consultations are available.

Make appointments here

The Writing Center will close for the 2011-12 academic year at 5 pm on Wednesday, May 16.  It will reopen for Fall 2012 on Wednesday, September 5.  

If you need assistance with your writing this summer, use tutor.com, which is available to all UW-Superior students.  To learn more and to access this free online service, go to http://www.uwsuper.edu/support/onlinetutoring.cfm. 

 A Few Rules to Follow in Making and Keeping Appointments:
1. Length of in-person appointments: Thirty-minute appointments are recommended for most in-person consultations, except for consultations for second-language learners or for students with papers exceeding five pages. Make sixty-minute appointments in those cases.
2. Length of online appointments: ONLY sixty-minute appointments can be made for online consultations.
3. If you are late for an appointment and we have someone arrive at the center at that time who wants a walk-in consultation, we will consider you a no-show and accommodate the walk-in client.
4. A consultation (whether in-person or online) should concern just one writing assignment.
5. PLEASE NOTE OUR NO-SHOW RULE: After three no-shows in a semester, a client will not be able to make any additional appointments for the rest of the semester. (To cancel an appointment and therefore not be counted as a no-show, enter WCOnline, click on the appointment you cannot keep, and indicate that you are cancelling it.) The client can continue to be seen on a walk-in basis only. The Writing Center has this rule because when a client does not show up for an appointment, oftentimes, that time slot could have been used by another client. In other words, your not showing up for your scheduled consultation may prevent another student from getting the writing center services that he or she needs.
