Visit uaf-writing-center@alaska.edu or call 907-474-5314 to book an appointment, or visit us at our location on the 6th floor of the Rasmuson Library in the Student Success Center. Appointments are available in-person or via Zoom. We have printers available (free printing up to 25 pages per day) and laptops available for check out on the floor.
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.
