PLEASE NOTE: Only Campus Village residents may use this service.
We have moved from the Lobby Conference Room to the North 3rd Floor Common Room!
The Writing Center is pleased to provide both one-on-one and small-group assistance to residents of Campus Village at Auraria. Students making appointments for the Campus Village Center should select 'Campus Village' from the dropdown menu of our online scheduler. Students can make 25-minute or 50-minute appointments.
FYI:
• Appointments are strongly encouraged. Walk-ins are allowed but are subject to availability.
• Students who arrive more than 5 minutes after their scheduled start time will either forfeit their position to another waiting student (when applicable) or be asked to wait until the next available hour.
• Consultants will not assist students with take-home exams of any type unless the Writing Center has received written permission from the course instructor. Please plan ahead by asking your instructor to contact the Center directly.
What You Can Expect:
Our services include one-on-one and small-group writing consultations in areas such as:
- Generating, organizing and developing ideas
- Establishing effective proof reading skills
- Analysis, synthesis and argument
- Summary, paraphrase and documentation
- Understanding error pattern analysis

How To Prepare For a Consultation:
