University Writing Center

The University Writing Center (UWC) is a free service available to all IUPUI students, faculty, and staff, at both the graduate and undergraduate level. The service is provided through the IUPUI School of Liberal Arts, the English Department and the Writing Program.

Fall 2008 News:

1.) The University Writing Center will open for the fall semester on Monday, August 25th. Both the Cavanaugh and University Library locations will be open. The schedule is available on the Locations/Hours page. To schedule a session, please call either location. The Cavanaugh 427 phone number is 317-274-2049. The University Library 2125 phone number is 317-278-8171.

2.) Hours may vary from semester to semester; however, the University Writing Center is CLOSED when undergraduate classes are not in session due to holidays or school breaks (i.e., spring break, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving break, etc.).

3.) ALL undergraduate tutoring sessions are 30 minutes long. This includes both ESL/EAP (English as Second Language/ English for Academic Purposes) students and native English speakers. Graduate students and faculty may schedule 60-minute sessions if they are available.

4.) We do not work with papers sent via e-mail for review. We also do not accept papers "dropped off" for review. Writers must attend a session with a UWC tutor, in order to receive assistance. Please see our FAQ for answers to other frequently asked questions!
