About the Writing Center
Services
The Writing Center offers one-on-one writing conferences by appointment or on a drop-in basis to students throughout the university. During conferences, students and peer tutors work together on various aspects of writing: thesis development, organization, outlining, paragraphing, sentence structure, wording, vocabulary and mechanics.
The tutorials can help students brainstorm; organize their writing; review grammar, punctuation and mechanics in the context of their writing; or work on a draft critiqued by their instructors.
Please note that the Writing Center’s work is not limited to writing courses. Students are free to review writing for any course at AUS. In fact, students can even visit the Writing Center to discuss writing done outside of their courses at AUS. Many students bring CVs, cover letters, presentations, poetry and fiction writing to their tutorials.
Location
The AUS Writing Center is located in the AUS Library on the first floor to the left of the staircase and the satellite location in the Language Building next door to the University Health Center.
Hours
Sunday–Thursday 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Appointments
You can make appointments with the writing center by registering with our on-line booking system. Just click on “Make an Appointment” on the Writing Center Website home page or go to http://www.therichco.com/wconline/aus/schedule/
The Writing Center is also available on a walk-in basis, but these times are limited since most of the appointment times are scheduled in advance.
The appointments are 30 minutes long, but you may book two back to back appointments. If it is necessary to cancel an appointment, you must inform the writing center at least an hour ahead before the scheduled appointment. If you are more than ten minutes late for a scheduled appointment, you are considered a "no show" and your time will be given to a student who is waiting for a walk-in consultation. If you miss two scheduled appointments, without calling or stopping by at least an hour ahead to cancel, you lose the privilege of scheduling appointments.
