Open for the Spring Semester:

The Writing Center is delighted to be able to offer our usual full array of services for the Spring 2021 semester. In addition to 30 or 60 minute individual tutorial sessions -- where we can address any aspect of writing at any stage of the process, prioritizing for areas of greatest concern -- the Writing Center will also continue to provide outreach visits and tailored workshops. Any instructor interested in a short virtual outreach visit or in collaborating on a tailored program of writing support should contact Dr. Kevin Rulo at rulo@cua.edu for further details.

Individual tutorial sessions will be exclusively online for Spring 2021. Students will have the option of synchronous or asynchronous sessions. Synchronous sessions will be conducted via Zoom. For asynchronous sessions, students will submit their papers and receive written feedback. Both types of appointments can be made via our website and the EAB scheduler. Please see our website for more details and below for more information about how to schedule appointments. We look forward to helping students with all their writing needs this semester!
