Services for Students
University Writing Center
The University Writing Center (UWC) supports efforts to promote writing instruction in all disciplines at Texas A&M University. The UWC provides undergraduates with the opportunity to enhance written communications skills through consultation with experienced writers, and through other means such as workshops and access to print and electronic resources.
Services to students include the opportunity to enhance written communication skills by means of face-to-face or on-line consultations. UWC consultants promote active, independent learning. Through conferencing, students become involved with the process of writing; they learn to draw on personal resources and to make editorial decisions. Consultants do not edit or proofread; however, they do teach editing and proofreading skills and help students learn to identify strengths and weaknesses in their writing. For a full range of student services, visit uwc.tamu.edu/students.
