Writing Center Organization

The UNC-CH Writing Center, administered through the College of Arts and Sciences, is one of seven units in Academic Services designed to support student success. The Writing Center originated and developed in the care of the English department and maintains its affiliation with the department through collaborative projects.

The Writing Center aims to provide members of the University community with free, non-credit avenues for improving their writing. Services in the Center include individual tutorials, a grammar hotline, campus workshops, a resource library, and support for writing groups. We continue to develop and expand services and welcome suggestions as we grow.

Staff in the Writing Center currently include a full-time, permanent director, assistant director, and ESL specialist; fifteen graduate student tutors from across the curriculum; and undergraduate office assistants. We offer onsite tutorials in our location in the basement of Phillips Annex. We invite those who visit the onsite Writing Center to bring their writing in on their laptops, on a CD or memory stick, or in print and work with a tutor at one of our computers. Online tutorials are available at the user's convenience through this site.
