Welcome to the Fredericksburg Writing Center
Part of the college-wide Writing Intensive Program, the Writing Center expresses the College’s belief in writing competence as an essential ingredient of a liberal arts education. Operating within the Honor Code, the Writing Center offers free tutorial assistance to students, regardless of major, class level, or skill level.
Extended Hours: For the week of April 22-25 the Writing Center will be extending its hours to 10-9 (Friday, April 26 we will be open 10-4). Additionally, we will be open the weekend of April 27 from 12-5, and we will hold normal operating hours during finals week.
We will have evening hours tarting Monday, February 4th at the Simpson Library’s Jazzman Cafe: M-Th from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m.
The Writing Center is converging with the Simpson Library to offer students an optional location and expanded hours. From 7 p.m.-9 p.m., M-Th, a writing center tutor is available in the Simpson Library’s Jazzman Cafe. Appointments are recommended (call 540-654-1036) but walk-ins may be helped when the tutor is free. Additionally, we will again be open in Trinkle Hall from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., M-Th and 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Fr. We look forward to helping you improve your writing skills!
Since the Writing Center schedule fills quickly during busy times in the semester, it’s a good idea to make appointments in advance of need. Walk-in service may be available.
