Writing Services

Join us for writing or presentations assistance.

The Writing Center opens on the first day of classes for fall and spring semesters and is open during June and July summer sessions. Student appointments are made through SMU's WCOnline website.

Writing Center faculty can provide strategies that will help you learn how to understand reading, writing, and presentation assignments, generate your own ideas, revise and edit more efficiently and effectively, and benefit as fully as possible from your teacher’s suggestions.
