A writing consultation in progress.

The Undergraduate Writing Center (UWC) offers free, individualized, expert help with writing for any UT undergraduate, by appointment or on a drop-in basis. The writer works with a trained consultant to define goals for the session, for example:
  • deciding on a topic
  • clarifying and organizing ideas
  • researching, drafting, and revising
  • improving grammar, punctuation, and usage
  • citing sources properly

We encourage students to develop strategies to improve their writing and become more confident writers. Find out more...

What people are saying about us:

"The consultant made me feel more confident in my writing. He helped me notice little problems that I couldn't see that greatly improved the clarity of my paper. This is a service that all undergraduate students should know about and use. Thank you!"

"Thank you for your careful work with my student. She contacted me afterwards, and I approved her change of hypothesis, which made sense given her discoveries. Great work on brainstorming and organizing!"
