Whether you are working on an academic, personal, or professional writing project, we can help you start.

We can also help with all the stuff that comes later.

We offer in-person sessions in JMU's Student Success Center, online sessions through our WCOnline scheduler, and walk-in, café-style help in our East Campus satellite location.

Our trained consultants can help you at any stage of your writing project. If it's your first UWC session, or if it's your first online UWC session, or if you want to make your UWC session better, visit our Schedule an Appointment page.

• We'd love to see you in person. The University Writing Center is part of JMU's Learning Centers, located on the first floor of the Student Success Center (Room Suite 1100-1167).
• If you need or prefer an online session, click on the "Yes, schedule online appointment" button.
• East Campus Walk-In Wednesdays: Join us in EnGeo 0303 from 4:00 - 7:00 on Wednesdays.

For information on whether a 30- or 60-minute session is best for you, accessing your online session, group sessions, and more, consult our Schedule an Appointment page.

Need immediate help, no matter where you are in your writing process? The UWC's Writing Guides and Handouts site is your gateway to hundreds of useful online resources that our team has created here at JMU or has endorsed as accurate, accessible, and up to date.
