Welcome to the CUNY School of Professional Studies (SPS) Online Writing Center (formerly the CUNY Writing Fellows at SPS). This site includes information about the Writing Center as well as a carefully curated set of resources, tutorials and writing FAQs for students and faculty.

Who We Are

The Consultants at the CUNY SPS OWC are comprised of graduates or graduate students who are trained in Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) pedagogy. WAC is a CUNY-mandated program (1999) requiring that informal (ungraded) and formal writing become a robust and integrated aspect of course-work at all levels of instruction. Our program is based on the idea that writing to learn is just as important as learning to write. In other words, through the process of writing one learns how to conceptualize and articulate knowledge in ways that are crucial to all disciplines. Writing skills are a crucial factor in student success and the consultants are here to support students as they strive to improve their writing.

What We Do

At CUNY School of Professional Studies, Writing Consultants:

• work with students one on one in individual tutoring.
• hold webinars on finding, using, and citing sources each semester in APA style and in the fall semester on Chicago style.

We are available to communicate and work flexibly with you in the fall and spring semesters by appointment via audio/video/whiteboard chat and written asynchronous feedback. Note: in the summer and winter sessions, when the Writing Center is closed, you may seek tutoring in writing at no cost to you from tutor.com; click Tutoring in your SPS course site to access this resource.

Please view the instructions for making an appointment or submitting work for written feedback here. You can also email us if you have questions.
