• Online and face-to-face tutoring for your students. We offer both online and face-to-face tutoring appointments for students, to best fit the evolving lifestyles of WOU students. We even allow for drop-in appointments for extra flexibility! 
• Writing Zones and class visits: With our new Writing Zone program, bring your class to us, and we’ll take care of them! Schedule a Writing Zone ahead of time, and our highly qualified tutors and staff will spend the duration of your class time working with students on a specific assignment, or a full lesson plan to help make them better writers. Additionally, we can also do traditional class visits to help explain what makes quality student writing and explain our services! Contact us at writingcenter@mail.wou.edu to get the ball rolling!
• Online confirmation emails: If the student has indicated to do so, we will send an email containing details about the appointment with the student, including a brief summary of what we worked on with them.

We put together a syllabus statement with hyperlinks for you this term. Feel free to copy and paste this into your syllabus:

The Writing Center is the only academic support unit on campus specifically designed to promote your development and success as a college writer. The consultant team is available to assist you online and in-person with writing projects for any course and any level of instruction. The Writing Center also offers specialized assistance for multimodal compositions or new media projects like digital narratives, blogs, websites, slideware presentations, and even YouTube videos.

You are invited to utilize Writing Center services at a variety of stages in your writing processes: understanding assignment directions; brainstorming ideas; creating “maps” or outlines; checking to see that your project specifically meets the directions specified by your instructor; exploring practical routes for revision and development; and adhering to format and style guides (e.g., AAA, APA, ASA, CBE, Chicago, and MLA). While tutors avoid “fixing” your writing, they do help you become conscious of, and proactive about, particular error patterns that emerge in your written work. Additionally, the Writing Center maintains an online library of reference texts and take-home handouts.
