Writing Center

The Westcliff University Writing Center’s mission is to collaborate with you as advocates for your academic success by not focusing on grade increases or what must be ‘fixed,’ but instead, focusing on developing your confidence in what you produce and ensuring you feel supported along the way.

We offer support at any point in your process of writing: outlining, drafting, reviewing the final draft, or even after you have received feedback from your professor and would like help understanding specifically how to connect that feedback to your writing. We also offer reviews on a variety of types of documents: discussion questions, CLAs, PAs, deliverables, lesson plans, and even resumes or cover letters! Our writing center specialists come from a wide array of backgrounds and expertise in how to support you in whatever writing type you send our way! The Writing Center provides asynchronous reviews of papers which means you do not have to be present to have your assignment reviewed.

Services We Provide

Asynchronous Written Feedback

The Westcliff University Writing Center offers free asynchronous writing support for undergraduate and master’s students who are actively enrolled at the university.

To receive written feedback, simply schedule an asynchronous appointment with one of our writing specialists and upload your assignment or draft. Your specialist will review your work and return personalized feedback within 48 hours of your appointment date.

Our writing specialists provide individualized feedback tailored to your goals and the needs of your paper. Depending on your request, feedback may focus on:

  • Content: Strengthening your ideas, argument, analysis, evidence, and overall development.
  • Organization: Improving structure, flow, paragraphing, transitions, and logical progression.
  • Language: Enhancing clarity, grammar, sentence structure, word choice, tone, and academic voice.
  • APA Style: Reviewing APA 7 formatting, in-text citations, references, headings, and other style conventions.
  • Analytical Depth: Helping you strengthen specificity, synthesis, originality, and critical thinking to produce writing that is clear, engaging, and authentically your own.

If there is a particular area you’d like us to emphasize, simply include your request in the submission comments when you schedule your appointment. Our specialists will tailor their feedback to best support your writing goals.
