The Writing Center can support you with your writing in any discipline at any stage of the writing process.

We especially encourage you to meet with us early in your writing process. In fact, you can even visit before you’ve started writing. Many students have reported that this helped them avoid procrastinating on their assignments and saved them time when they did start writing because they had developed an outline or a plan during their session.

Undergraduate students interested in becoming peer tutors may apply by emailing writingcenter@colorado.edu with a resume and letter of interest after completing WRTG 2090 -ÌýWriting Center Pedagogy and Practice.

Individual Sessions

• By appointment: Undergraduate students can reserve 50-minute online appointments. Professionally trained writing consultants are on hand to help with concerns at any stage of the writing process from planning through revision. These sessions are recommended for documents that are 10 pages or less. .

Honors Writing SupportÌý

Honors Writing Support (HWS): For students writing an honors thesis who would like to meet regularly with a writing specialist for continuous, biweekly support while they conduct research, compose, and prepare to defend. Honors Writing Support is intended to supplement adviser meetings and coursework by providing writing feedback and guidance from an outside academic reader’s perspective. HWS participants commit to attending regularly scheduled meetings and submitting work to their consultant before each session. This extra time allows the consultant to provide a more thorough review and to help the writer improve cogency, organization, and analysis, while also attending to grammar and style concerns. We will be accepting Spring 2025 applications on a rolling, but limited basis.Ìý
