The Writing Center

The Writing Center offers one-on-one tutorials free of charge to students enrolled in Writing Program courses. Tutorials take place at the Writing Center and at a new satellite location at Mugar Library.  Students may reserve tutorial sessions online, by phone, or in person at the Writing Center.

CAS students and students enrolled in CAS courses are welcome to use the Writing Center on a walk-in basis. Please come at the start of an appointment time to check if a tutor is available. Appointments begin at 9:00 am, and each one lasts 45 minutes.

Due to the high demand for tutorial services in the Writing Center, we encourage you to reserve your appointments a week in advance.  Please review our policies before coming to your first appointment.
