Writing Support: Tutoring, Computer Tools, and Faculty Support
WCU Tutoring
WCU online faculty are available to tutor you in writing, math, statistics, and science! If you need help and prefer to use a resource other than Tutor.com, you can schedule a live session with a WCU faculty who can provide you with content-specific support. You must schedule your session using this link: Virtual Academic Resource Center Faculty-Based Online Tutoring.
You must be logged into your WCU account to schedule a session. You will be booked for a virtual tutoring session, which is based on the availability of WCU faculty.
If you'd prefer to gain immediate access to a tutor 24/7, please check out Tutor.com. WCU tutoring must be scheduled in advance.
WCU Paper Dropoff Services
Paper drop-off hours are from Monday at 9:00 AM PST to Thursday at 5:00 PM PST. Feedback will be returned within 24-48 hours when submitted during drop-off hours. Any papers submitted outside the designated drop-off timeframe will still be reviewed, but will receive a delayed response. Also please keep in mind that feedback will pertain to writing skills, such as grammar, punctuation, and in-text citations. For specific help pertaining to a student’s course, students need to reach out to their instructor, or a tutor within their field of study. For additional assistance students can access Tutor.com through Canvas.
