Writing Support

The University Writing Center is a free support service for those who need assistance at any stage of the writing process. Writing consultants work with students from all classes, disciplines, and degree plans to strengthen needed writing skills. Undergraduate and graduate students can make an appointment through the EAB Navigate portal for either face-to-face or synchronous Zoom sessions during our normal service hours. Students may also email their work to the Writing Center through our Online Tutorial Service. We look forward to working with you!

Online Tutorial Service

In order to use the Writing Center’s Online Tutorial Service, feel free to submit your work anytime by email at writingcenter@tarleton.edu

Include all pertinent information such as:

your name and UID
an explanation of the paper topic (course, assignment requirements, professor’s name)
specific questions you have about your writing.

The Writing Center tutors are able to look at approximately ten pages of writing in an hour (the time limit for tutorials per student, per day).

Once we receive your work, we will respond to you within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. In high volume periods, the response time may be extended to 72 hours. Please be aware of this if you submit your writing project in typically high-traffic periods, such as during mid-terms and at the end of the semester, as well as other times.
