August 24, 2009 -- UH Writing Center to Launch New Services This Fall

To better meet the needs of our students, the UH Writing Center is initiating two new services beginning Fall 2009: 30-Minute General Writing Consultations and a Live Chat function.

Students can schedule 30-minute general writing consultations for any writing assignment/paper through the Writing Center’s online scheduler. The live chat feature will be available also through the Writing Center’s website for students who have general questions regarding writing.

These two services will replace walk-in consultations.
