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 the Online Writing Lab, an array of electronic resources and tools. Services to students include face-to-face and online consultations, and the UWC also provides in-class workshops on many writing topics in courses throughout the university curriculum.
UWC consultants promote active, independent learning. Through conferencing, students become involved with the process of writing and learn to draw on personal resources and to make editorial decisions. Consultants do not edit or proofread, but they do teach editing and proofreading skills and help students learn to identify strengths and weaknesses in their writing.
Faculty members are invited to use the UWC to assist in the development of writing-intensive (“W”) courses. They will find information about writing-intensive courses and help with writing pedagogy on the UWC Web site. Faculty consultations or workshops on topics related to writing-intensive courses can be scheduled by calling (979) 458-1455 or online at writingcenter.tamu.edu.
The UWC is located on the second floor of the Sterling C. Evans Library (1.214). Appointments can be made by calling (979) 458-1455 or by visiting writingcenter.tamu.edu. In addition to regular daytime office hours, the UWC also is open weeknights (Sunday–Thursday) until 10 p.m.
