Faculty
The University Writing Center can help your students with any writing project and at any stage of the writing process. Any UAB student may meet with a tutor in person or online or upload a paper for feedback. They may have up to two appointments per week during most of the semester. Students may be limited to one session per week during the last few weeks of the semester. We are not open during final exam week.
Ready to tell your students about the writing center? You have a few options:
- Include our syllabus statement on your syllabi and/or in Canvas.
- Share our video on using the UWC.
- Link to our website, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn pages in Canvas (and follow us on social media yourself!).
- Tell your students that all writers need help! Students need to know that getting writing help and feedback is something all writers do, not just writers who are struggling.
Need a boost for your own writing? Attend our faculty writing groups, co-hosted with the UAB Center for Teaching and Learning! These are open to all faculty and provide excellent community and accountability. See Writing Groups and Events for more information.
