Writing Overview

Our writing resources provide academic assistance for the writing of effective essays and research papers.

We serve writing students at every level through one-to-one tutoring, workshops, and requested presentations where students learn together outside of formal classes.

Through our Academic Skills resources, we provide assistance to all students with strategies to improve their studying and test-taking skills in any course. We offer workshops, in-class presentations and one-to-one tutoring by appointment.

Workshop Formats

The Learning Hub offers online workshops to all current UIS students in the fall and spring semesters. These workshops provide students with a brief lesson on a featured topic. Then, students will apply the lesson through discussion and practice. Use the Workshop Registration button below to register for a workshop being held this semester. Schedules are listed on this page as well as posted to Campus Announcements and UIS Connection!

Placement Testing Instructions
