Located in the Academic Resource Center, Warner Library 300
At the Writing Center, writing assistants work with students in a personal, one-on-one environment, helping students improve writing basics such as punctuation, structure, and documenting sources. Additionally, they identify areas of strength and weakness, and help to discern argument and flow structure within a written project. The goal of the Writing Center is to help students improve their writing skills and become more proficient in reviewing and revising their own work!
Access the Writing Center
Accessing the Writing Center
All students will use WCOnline to make appointments and submit papers to the Writing Center. Please log in using your Eastern credentials. Our open hours are Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM, with additional hours for appointments on Sunday evenings. If you have any questions about our services, or any writing questions in general, please email euwrites@eastern.edu.
Worried about making an appointment? That's okay! We have a 24/7 resource available for you to use at all times on Brightspace with tutorials, workshops, and other resources. Learn how to add the course to your page.
Schedules
The Writing Center has two schedules available to all students.
Live Appointments are 30 minutes to 1 hour appointments with a Writing Assistant held in person in Warner 300 or virtually through WCOnline. Appointments must be made at least 1 hour in advance and students may schedule up to 2 appointments a week. No exceptions will be made to this.
Paper Drop-Offs are done through our asynchronous review process. Papers are uploaded to the schedule in WCOnline and Writing Assistants review them, leave comments, and send them back to you within 72 business hours. Students may upload 1 paper a day and 2 a week. No exceptions will be made to this.
Our Mission
The Eastern University Writing Center is committed to equipping students with lifelong writing skills and, accordingly, desires to facilitate student learning rather than merely to "edit" student papers. We have a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and compassionate staff who enjoy talking to students about their ideas and writing. In fact, you can visit the Writing Center at any point in your composition process--from brainstorming to documenting sources to final editing!
