Welcome Back Students and Faculty

The University Writing Center (UWC) welcomes all UCF faculty and staff members back to campus for the spring semester. Also, we’d like to share some of the resources we offer for faculty members and students.

UCF faculty can request that a UWC representative come to your class to give a brief presentation about our services. To request a presentation for your class or classes, visit http://www.uwc.ucf.edu/Faculty_Resources/facultymainpage.html and submit the “Request a UWC Presentation for Your Class” form.

Graduate and undergraduate students can visit the UWC for writing support in any discipline. In addition to our face-to-face consultations, the UWC offers phone and online consultations via “KnightOWL,” our “Online Writing Lab.” Students will be able to schedule online and phone consultations similar to the way they schedule face-to-face consultations through designated KnightOWL openings in TutorTrac, located at https://uwc-trac.cah.ucf.edu/TutorTrac/Default.html.

We also offer a variety of handouts and reference guides on our Writing Resources page located at http://www.uwc.ucf.edu/Writing%20Resources/writing_resources_home.htm. Students can access these handouts at any time.

I welcome you to call me at 407-882-0076 or e-mail me at rgcarpen@mail.ucf.edu with any questions about the UWC.

Have a great spring semester,

Rusty
