You don’t need to come to campus to receive help from the Writing Center and Speech Service!
If you'd like help but your schedule doesn't match with our availability, the eConsult service is for you! You can request help with your writing and speeches/presentations through our online form. Within two to three business days of your submission--not including university breaks or closures--you will receive a response from wconline@pfw.edu with your assignment (with our recommendations and comments on the draft). If you need help with the delivery of a speech, you can upload a recording to YouTube (no need to publish it) and include the link to the video on the request form. Starting with the Fall 2024 semester, all appointment summaries will be entered in to Navigate instead of being emailed to the student. Instructors are able to view your use of the Writing Center for required visits.
If we need to contact you for more information, it may delay the return of your submission. It may also take longer to return your submission during our busy times (especially the weeks leading up to and during midterms and finals), so please plan ahead. Our business hours are shortened over the summer semesters, which will also delay the return of your requests.
Note: We put our comments on your document using the comments feature in Word. To read the comments, you'll need to open the document on a desktop or laptop computer and be sure Show Comments is selected on the Review tab.
The Writing Center and its Speech and Presentation Service will open for the Fall 2024 semester from September 3, 2024 - December 15, 2024. We close for all holidays and campus closures, such as Labor Day (September 2, 2024), Fall Break (October 21 & 22), and Thanksgiving Break (November 27 - December 1).
When you want or need the interaction of a face-to-face appointment, but coming to campus is not an option, you can schedule a virtual appointment!
You'll schedule through Navigate and choose the Virtual location for your meeting. You'll receive a confirmation email with the link to your consultant's Zoom room. When it's time for your appointment, click the link and you will enter the Consultant's Zoom Waiting Room. When they are ready for your appointment, they will connect with you!
