Welcome to the Hofstra University Writing Center, where we offer free, confidential, one-to-one support for current Hofstra University undergraduate and graduate students.
Appointments are preferred but walk-ins are welcome.
We do not work with fully AI-generated writing or writing that has been done by someone other than the client.
Appointments are approximately 45 minutes in length and start at the top of the hour; if writers need more time with a tutor, they can book two appointments back-to-back.

Summer 2025 Hours
The Writing Center will offer limited summer hours from June 2 to August 22 primarily through paper drop off/asynchronous feedback.
Paper Drop Off/Asynchronous
Monday-Friday Evenings
The Writing Center is now offering limited online asynchronous appointments where writers drop off their paper by uploading it to WCOnline via the online schedule. Tutors will return feedback in approximately 24 hours. Try out this service on a draft of a paper to help guide your revisions!

NEW Cancellation Policy
Please note our new cancellation policy: Appointments can only be canceled or modified by the client up to 20 hours before the appointment’s start time. Any changes after this point will need to be done by the Writing Center, though we do not accept last-minute cancellations. (These will be marked as no-shows.) Clients who are marked as no-shows twice will be prevented from utilizing the Writing Center for the remainder of the term.
