Helping all writers when they get stuck
The Writing Center’s role is to support everyone at UNLV who is working on any writing project. We help writers gain skills that help them feel more confident and more prepared to revise their current paper as well as work on future ones.
The Writing Center is open from Sunday to Friday, with the exception of major holidays. We are currently open for virtual consultations and OWL submissions. We will begin offering in-person consultations starting September 18th. We appreciate your patience as we train our staff and move into our new location in Campus Resource Center 216.

Announcements
Consultations
The UNLV Writing Center offers several types of writing consultations to best suit your needs, including in-person and virtual consultations, as well as an Online Writing Lab, consultations for multilingual and disabled writers, and more.
Handouts & Workshops
If you feel a little stuck but do not want to make an appointment yet, we have a library of handouts and video workshops created by Writing Center consultants, as well as helpful external writing websites. Our writing resources cover writing strategies, genre, citations, formatting, grammar, and punctuation.
Services for Students
The Writing Center is free for all students, and our consultants work with students at all levels and across all majors. If you are stuck on something you are writing, even if you haven’t started writing yet, schedule an appointment. You might want to try out a few consultants until you find one that you really like working with.
Services for Faculty and Staff
Writing Center consultants do not only work with students! If you are stuck on something you are writing, please schedule an appointment.
Also, students report that the best way they learn about the Writing Center is through their advisors and instructors. Add our handouts to your WebCampus page to help students learn writing skills, invite a consultant into your class to explain our services to you and your students, or schedule a consultation to get feedback on your own writing, including assignment prompts that students are struggling with. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about our services or would like more information on how to encourage your students to use the Writing Center.
