Online Tutoring

Online Writing Center

The Center for Academic Success Online Writing Center provides tutoring for distance learners and non-traditional students who may be unable to use our on-campus services. The OWC offers evening and weekend hours to fit your schedule.

Note: Tutors can typically review 4-6 pages in one session. Give yourself time to schedule multiple sessions if you're working on a longer paper or requesting detailed feedback.

We offer two services to meet your needs:

No Meeting / Document Upload	Real-Time Chat
Upload your paper and assignment sheet Return for feedback 24 hours after your appointment Note: This service is still tutoring and is not a proofreading or editing service.	Meet with a tutor by phone and share your document through OneDrive. Converse by phone while viewing and working through your document in real time. Make sure your document is uploaded to Tutortrac prior to your appointment. Watch for an email from your tutor with the phone number you should call at your appointment time.
