Sample Syllabus Language

We encourage faculty to include language in their course syllabi to help students make appointments with our writing consultants.

Please feel free to copy and paste the below example language or modify as you might need to fit your syllabus:

All students, regardless of their own perceived writing abilities, are strongly urged to seek help from the University’s Writing Center. Part of the UNF Writing Program, he Writing Center is in Room 2501 of Skinner-Jones Hall (Building 4). To find them, look for the spiral staircase at the back of the Bamboo Garden. Take the staircase (or the elevator inside of Building 4) to the second floor, and the entrance is right across from the top of the staircase.

They offer students 30-minute appointments, 20-minute drop-in consultations, and regular writing workshops. All services are offered in multiple modalities--in-person, online via Zoom, and online via Microsoft Teams. If you have an accessibility need that these modalities do not support, please contact them for more options. 

Writing Center staff can help you with brainstorming, outlining, organizing your ideas, syntax, grammar, style and rhetoric, literature reviews, references, marshaling evidence, drafting, and editing. They also offer feedback on presentations. Schedule an appointment or see their drop-in hours on their website here!
