Welcome to A.T. Still University’s University Writing Center (UWC), a free academic support service for currently enrolled ATSU students. Our goal is to help you become a better writer in the health care professions.
The UWC offers:
As of July 1, 2021, the UWC is open from 12 a.m. Mondays to 8 p.m. Saturdays (Central Time), which provides suitable time for writing coaches to return reviewed assignments within the designated turnaround time and for students to make appropriate edits to their assignments and still meet their instructors' deadlines. The UWC does not accept papers from 8 p.m. Saturdays until 12 a.m. Mondays, Central Time, because most assignments that come through the UWC are due Sunday evenings; therefore, on Monday morning when the UWC reopens, a review is typically no longer needed. Students are asked to submit assignments on Monday (instead of Sunday) to help avoid confusion and unnecessary reviews by the UWC.
You may leave us a voicemail message at 660.626.2228, or, depending on the hour, you may also reach us using Google Chat.
NOTE: Resumes, CVs, applications, personal and residency statements, noteworthy characteristics, scholarship applications, and cover letters are no longer reviewed by the University Writing Center. These documents are now handled by people with more experience in the related field. Please consult with your dean’s office, associate dean's office, or the program director or chair's office for instructions on where to seek help. If you are a CGHS student, please send your resumes and CVs for review to cghscareerservices@atsu.edu.
All CGHS students who began their dissertation prior to July 1, 2020, are permitted to continue using APA 6th edition until the project is complete. APA 6 materials are available on the UWC's old website. Students MUST include a message in their email to indicate their document is in APA 6 so it is reviewed appropriately.
