The Writing Center is a referral center for students needing to develop writing skills. While many students using the center are enrolled in one of the freshman writing courses and are referred for basic word, sentence, or composition skills, upperclassmen also use the center to correct basic writing problems, to learn techniques for writing essay-test answers, or for organizing reports and research papers.
The English-as-a-second-language students use the center to develop fluency and learn idiomatic usage. PPST evaluation and remediation are also provided.
