Writing Center

University Writing Center

Welcome to the CSU Channel Islands University Writing Center

The University Writing Center's mission is to support all members of the CSUCI community with their writing at any stage of the composing process. Our trained peer writing tutors can assist students with academic projects, helping them to understand and brainstorm their paper assignments, organize their essays based on a thoughtfully constructed main idea, develop and document their ideas, and learn to polish and edit their own papers. We offer a learning resource, not an editing service. Students are also welcome to bring in other types of written work, such as résumés and letters of application. The Writing Center's services are free of charge.
