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 peer writing tutors can assist students with academic projects, helping them to understand and brainstorm, organize their essays, 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 center's services are free of charge.

Services for Students with Disabilities
The UWC strives to serve all CSUCI students and accommodate their diverse learning needs. We work collaboratively with The Disability Resource Program to provide services for students who are registered with the Disability Resource Programs. Students who are eligible to receive extended test time as one of their accommodations in their classes are eligible to receive similar services in the center. Simply provide a copy of your EAC Faculty Notification Letter to the UWC coordinator to confirm your eligibility. All disability related information will remain confidential. Please note that all students, with or without disabilities, must adhere to the center's policies and procedures.
