Visit uaf-writing-center@alaska.edu or call 907-474-5314 to book an appointment, or visit us at our location on the 8th floor of the Gruening Bldg. Appointments are available in-person or via Zoom. The Writing Center space also hosts a computer lab with free printing for students of up to 25 pages per day.
Types of help we provide
The Writing Center collaborates with students on a one-to-one basis, and we will work with students at any phase of the writing process — planning, drafting and revising. We can also help writers discover ways of improving grammar, mechanics and punctuation. Our tutors can also assist in the following:
- Brainstorming and generating topics
- Organizing ideas
- Developing research strategies
- Use of citation styles (MLA, APA and Chicago)
- Editing for clarity and correctness
In addition to tutoring, students are welcome to use our many resources — dictionaries, handbooks, style guides and more. Students may also use our computer lab (19 PCs and 1 Mac) and print up to 25 pages daily, free of charge.]
Student visits for extra credit
Instructors can offer extra credit for student visits to the Writing Center. The Writing Center will notify instructors of student visits.
