SIUC
Writing CenterThe English Department operates four Writing Centers across campus open to all SIUC students who would like assistance with any aspect of their writing:
The Writing Center in Room 2281 of Faner Hall serves the central campus and is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Lentz Writing Center in the lower-level computer lab of Lentz Hall serves the west campus and is open Sunday through Thursday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Trueblood Writing Center in the lower level computer lab of Trueblood Hall serves the east campus and is open Sunday 6-9 p.m. through Thursday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Morris Library Writing Center will be closed until further notice due to Library construction.
The Writing Center serves a variety of students through weekly appointments and single-visit sessions. The majority of our tutoring sessions are devoted to weekly appointments during which students meet with the same tutor for a 50 minute session. Students can keep their appointment for the entire semester as long as they attend regularly. Our single-visit sessions begin on the hour and last for 50 minutes as well. Students can make a single-visit appointment up to two days prior to the session. See our Hours and Locations page for links to the tutor schedules of the four locations.
For students who would like to use our services, we offer more detailed information on the Student Information page, including answers to frequently asked questions and suggestions for making the most of your visit.
The Writing Center has an attendance policy for weekly appointments to keep sessions available for students who will use them and single-visit sessions to sustain the Center's mission of helping students become more effective editors of their own writing.
For faculty members interested in our services, we offer more detailed information on Our Pedagogy page, including instructions for referring students and introducing classes to the Writing Center.
