Welcome!

 The Writing Center is an instructional facility designed to provide all university writers with peer tutors to help with their writing projects at any stage of the process, from idea generation and organization to style, grammar, and editing strategies. Our primary function is to teach writing. We welcome all members of the UHCL community: students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

      We will work with any type of writing task; however, we do not provide editing or proofreading service. Writers must bring their own papers to their conferences and are responsible for the quality of their final products.

      We recommend that writers schedule appointments with us in advance, but walk-ins are also accepted if a tutor is available. Appointments start on the hour and last 45 minutes. Online tutoring is also available in the forms of email, phone chat, and instant message chat.
