Writing Center - Tarleton State University

Exam Week Hours

We’ve all reached the end of the semester and as we look ahead to final exam week, The Writing Center wants to let everyone know we will be operate normally until 5/14 (the last day of exams). We will have face-to-face hours, virtual hours and the option to submit to the online queue. Libraray hours may be available on 5/6 and 5/7. Check with the writing center to be sure.
Please remember that if you submit to the online queue, allow for a 72 hour turnaround (excludes weekends) due to the volume of papers we get during exam week. Please realize this means you cannot wait until the day your paper is due to submit it and get it back in time. We strongly recommend that you submit early enough that you have enough time to implement revisions.

Writing Support

The University Writing Center is a free support service for those who need assistance at any stage of the writing process. Writing consultants work with students from all classes, disciplines, and degree plans to strengthen needed writing skills. Undergraduate and graduate students can make an appointment through the EAB Navigate portal for either face-to-face or synchronous Zoom sessions during our normal service hours. Students may also email their work to the Writing Center through our Online Tutorial Service. We look forward to working with you!

The Writing Center tutors are able to look at approximately ten pages of writing in an hour (the time limit for tutorials per student, per day).

Once we receive your work, we will respond to you within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. In high volume periods, the response time may be extended to 72 hours. Please be aware of this if you submit your writing project in typically high-traffic periods, such as during mid-terms and at the end of the semester, as well as other times.
