Our philosophy focuses on improving overall writing skills instead of merely improving grades on individual papers. The Writing Center also explains expectations and conventions that instructors and businesses require for written communication to prepare students for their future careers. We do not proofread student papers. Instead, we teach students how to critique and improve their own papers, which could take more than one session. testing Students have the opportunity to gain credit for previous academic and/or work experience through the following: placement tests, CLEP exams, challenge exams, and life experience (prior learning) credits. special needs/disabled students are provided
with reasonable accommodations to allow learning disabled, physically
disabled, and other challenged
students to succeed in academic pursuits. While maintaining the
highest academic integrity, the University strives to balance scholarship
with support services which will assist special needs students
