The UC Writing Centre

The writing centre is closed for one-on-one appointments until start of fall term. Please visit this site in early September to book appointments in the fall.

If you'll be starting your degree in the fall, take part in our series of six online workshops between August 19 and 21 on writing at university. 

If you're registered at University College, you have access to free one-on-one appointments at the UC Writing Centre. Our highly trained instructors will consult with you individually on course assignments at any stage of the writing process and in any subject. You may also seek help on admissions statements, applications letters, and U of T-related research. Non-UC students enrolled in University College program courses may bring in work for those courses.

You may book one appointment a week (two in the summer) and up to three future appointments at any time. There is no limit on the total appointments you book over the session. 

If you have never had a one-on-one appointment at the UC Writing Centre, please read up on how to use us.

The UC Writing Centre is part of the sUCcess Commons, in UC Room 259. The sUCCess Commons also offers the following services:

  • Academic Skills Education
  • Career Education & Advising
  • International Student Advising and Exchange Opportunities
  • Accessibility Advising
  • Counselling & Psychotherapy
