The office is staffed by trained tutors and offers 15-minute drop-in writing consultations to the USC community engaged in writing projects.

Writing Center tutors provide writing assistance in all academic disciplines and with every stage of the writing process. Whether students are writing a research paper or a short critical essay, Writing Center tutors can help with brainstorming, reviewing grammar concepts, and organizing ideas. Reference librarians are available to help students locate books, journal articles, and other sources needed to complete written assignments. This unique partnership makes it possible for students to receive help from reference librarians in locating scholarly content and to work with Writing Center tutors on the writing process without leaving the library.

Fall 2005 hours for the Thomas Cooper Library Writing Center office are Sunday, 4-7 p.m.; Monday, 1-5 p.m.; Tuesday and Wednesday, 12-7 p.m.; Thursday, 1-7 p.m.; and Friday, 1-4 p.m.
