Welcome to the Writing Center
Writers may make up to two appointments per week by clicking the "Schedule a visit" button above. Appointments take place on Zoom and in-person.

If you have any questions, please contact us at writingcenter@columbia.edu.
Repeating appointments:
We offer 6-week repeating appointments each semester to the following Columbia writers: international students, thesis and dissertation writers, first-generation college students, Mellon Mays fellows, Justice in Education students, military veterans, Pell Grant recipients, and those referred by the Office of Disability Services. We have a limited number of repeating appointments to offer. If you are eligible, you may submit a repeating-appointment request using this form. We typically run out of repeating appointments after the first two weeks of the semester.
What we do: The Writing Center provides writing support to undergraduate and graduate students. In one-on-one consultations and workshops, our consultants offer feedback and strategies to help you improve at every stage of your writing, from brainstorming to final drafts. Learn more about what happens in a Writing Center consultation.
Who's eligible: We will work with any currently-enrolled Columbia University undergraduate or graduate student with the following exceptions: Barnard, Teachers College, and School of Social Work. Students in these schools need to use their own institution’s writing center unless they are taking a Columbia course not offered through their schools.
