From UVA Writing Center
Who We Are & What We Do
The Writing Center is part of the UVA Writing Program. We primarily work with student essays, but can also help with proposals and personal statements. We focus on the organization and structure of writing (we do not proofread), and also provide ESL support. The Writing Center follows the principles of writing and argumentation as described in The Craft of Argument.
The Writing Center works closely with the ENWR (English Writing) courses at the University of Virginia, which teach the same principles of argument to all UVA students. We work particularly closely with ENWR 105 and 106 students, who maintain standing appointments with Writing Center tutors throughout the semester. See the Writing Center Info page for more.

| Clemons Paper Clinic

At the end of each semester, the Writing Center holds a Paper Clinic at Clemons Library.
Clinic appointments are 30 minutes long, and are designed to help students develop and polish papers for the end of the semester. The hours are from 5:00 - 11:00 (last appointment at 10:30); a sign-up will be posted at 3:00.
Students can get up to three appointments during the clinic (but not on the same day). These appointments do not count against appointments already attended at the Writing Clinic.
