Welcome to the OU Writing Center!

The OUWC reopens for Fall 2024 on Monday, September 9th at 9 AM. Generally, our hours are as follows:

Monday - Thursday, 9 AM - 5 PM (F2F and online). On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, we reopen from 6 PM until 10 PM for online appointments.
Friday, 10 AM - 2 PM (online only)
Sunday, 4 PM - 9 PM (online only)

To get started, register for an account by clicking the link to the left of this message.

For a comprehensive overview of how to access our services, see This Semester in the Writing Center. (Note: Bookmark it because the page is updated every semester). For information about data privacy and GDRP, review the WC GDPR document.

Fall 2024 Logistics

Writers may schedule up to three (3) 55-minute consultations per week. The last five minutes are reserved for the consultant to finish the session report.
Writers who miss two appointments without cancelling ("no show") will have their accounts disabled until they consult with the writing center director. If the problem persists, the writer may loose the ability to preschedule appointments.

New to the Center or to Online Consulting?

To help you successfully navigate an online appointment, consult our Help Guide or our Video Guide to WC Appointments.
