Whereas most writing centers around the country are staffed with graduate and undergraduate students, the SWC Writing Workshop is staffed primarily by professional writing teachers with faculty status. Writing Workshop serves both undergraduates and graduate students. Students can make a 30-minute appointment by phone up to a week in advance or drop by on a walk-in basis. Graduate students are permitted one-hour appointments once a week. The Writing Workshop also offers walk-in appointments during After Hours one or two days per week.
The Peer Tutoring Service: Because students often feel most comfortable talking about their writing with peers, many prefer to visit tutors rather than faculty in the Writing Workshop. The Peer Tutoring service is staffed by upper-level undergraduates who have completed the Peer Tutor Program.
Online Writing and Learning (OWL) was conceived as a supplement to face-to-face tutoring as a way to reach students not located on the central campus or who otherwise cannot come in for face-to-face peer tutoring.
Writing Resources: There are many writing resources available to students on-line. This section of the Sweetland website contains a listing of many of these resources.
