Writing Center

The APU Writing Center offers several forms of writing support that are free and available to all APU students:

  • In-Person Appointments: Students may meet with writing coaches at any stage of the writing process and receive individualized support to improve their writing projects and their long-term writing skills. Schedule an appointment, or visit the APU Writing Center website to learn more about us and our services.
  • Online Appointments: During online appointments, students and writing coaches use Zoom and a mutual whiteboard space or shared screen to work together in real time.
  • Drop-In Hours: The center offers drop-in hours, where students meet with writing coaches individually or in groups. View the current drop-in hours and location.
  • Workshops: The Writing Center provides several workshops throughout the year for students, and we invite you to join us for discussions and practical guidance on writing-related topics. Workshop dates are listed on our calendar. Faculty may request classroom workshops by using our Writing Center Service Request Form.
