Information about the Writing Center for Your Students
The UIC Writing Center, located in 105 Grant Hall, offers free one-on-one tutoring for this course and any other writing you are doing, whether it is an assignment for another course or a personal statement or resume.

You can have a session in-person in the wonderful space in 105 Grant Hall or work with a tutor online. You can make appointments at https://uic.mywconline.com use this QR code:
What to expect when you visit?
• You and the tutor will have a friendly, back-and-forth conversation about your writing.
• Together, you will decide what’s most important for your session.
• Do you have a quick question? Drop in! Drop-in hours for short sessions are from 11:00-2:00, Monday-Friday. But it’s worth dropping by at other times too. If there is a tutor available, they will help.
• It’s OK to come with no writing! Wherever you are in the process, tutors will talk to you about the assignment or listen to your ideas and help you take the next step.
• After the session, you will receive a follow-up letter through WCONLINE. For Drop-in sessions, you will receive a brief acknowledgement that you worked with a tutor. For 50-minute sessions, the letter will be longer: tutors will summarize your work together and include what you both decided about next steps.
• Out of respect for you as the author, final decisions about changes in your writing will remain with you.
