The Center for Writing Excellence (CWE) is available to students, faculty, and staff at any stage of the writing process and for any type of writing. We offer 30-minute, in-person appointments and 1-hour online appointments with trained undergraduate and graduate writing consultants. We offer support for developing your text and facilitate experiential learning sessions.
The writing center will start offering appointments for the Spring 2025 semester on Tuesday, January 21st. When you schedule an appointment, three types are available. Please review the descriptions below and select the appropriate response on the appointment form.
- Face-to-Face Appointment: All face-to-face, or in-person, appointments are located on the second floor of Collier Library.
- Video Chat Appointment: These virtual synchronous appointments include a real-time chat session with a consultant about your paper through Microsoft Teams. You need to log into una.mywconline.com for your appointment meeting. Locate and click the yellow box to find your scheduled appointment. Next, click "Start or Join Online Consultation."
- E-Tutoring: (Only for students who live off campus)This asynchronous appointment allows students to upload a paper for review during a reserved time slot. During the scheduled time, a tutor will review the paper and suggest improvements. When the tutor is finished reviewing the paper, the tutor will email the paper to the student (using the same email address for the WCOnline registration), or the student can log back in to WCOnline, click and open the appointment slot, and access a file attachment where the reviewed paper has been uploaded.
If you have difficulty signing up for an appointment, call (256) 765-4722 or email successcenter@una.edu for assistance.
