About The UWC
What Is The UWC?
The University Writing Center is a campus resource that offers free individual and small-group consultations to UCF community members, for any writing in any situation. Our purpose is not to “fix” papers. Instead, we provide a collaborative environment that creates opportunities to support writers’ learning to help them to better understand and navigate complex situations for writing, both in and outside the University.
Our tutors (also called consultants) are UCF graduate and undergraduate students, all of whom take our comprehensive three-credit course “Theory & Practice of Tutoring Writing” and participate in ongoing professional development throughout their time at the UWC.
You can learn more about our staff and tutors at the Our Team page.

Our Mission
The Writing Center is guided by six valued principles—respect, compassion, diversity, adaptability, collaboration, and learning—with the purpose of:
- providing members of the UCF community free individual and group peer consultations at any stage of the writing process.
- serving as a campus resource for the ongoing cross-disciplinary learning about writing through events and workshops.
- promoting the growth of peer tutors with a rich teaching and learning experience and ongoing professional development in writing center research, theory, and practice to encourage them as leaders, scholars, and teachers.
