Our Locations
The UNF Writing Center has two separate in-person locations. A main suite in Skinner-Jones Hall (Building 4) and a satellite location in the UNF Library. Below you will find information about and directions to each location.
Main Writing Center
The UNF Writing Center is located in Suite 2501 on the second floor of Skinner-Jones Hall (Building 4). To find us, go to the back of the Bamboo Garden next to the Brooks College of Health (the side furthest from the Student Union building) and take the spiral staircase up to the second floor. The entrance to the Writing Center is just across from the top of the spiral staircase.
If you are not able to use the spiral staircase, take the elevator inside Skinner-Jones Hall to the second floor. Once on the second floor, exit the front of the building and turn right. The front door to the Writing Center will be on your right, just past the vending machines.
Library Location
The satellite location can be found on the first floor of the Thomas G. Carpenter Library. Enter the library and walk straight ahead until you reach the Perdue Study Area. Writing Center staff will be in the middle work station on the right-hand side.
To see a map of the first floor that includes the Perdue Study Area, visit the library website.
Still can't find us? Call us at (904) 620-5394 and one of our staff members will direct you.
Coming for a Drop-In? Here's What You Need to Know
- When you're ready to meet, scan the QR code at the front desk in the Writing Center office suite. Due to staff availability, there may be a wait.
- If there is a wait, remain close to the Writing Center. Otherwise, have a seat in the front lobby and a consultant will be with you shortly.
- When it is your turn in line, our staff will email you at the address linked to the N-number you provided at sign-in. Be sure to provide the correct N-number when you sign in.
- You will have five minutes to report for your drop-in session or your spot in line will be forfeited.
Please note: Drop-in sessions are typically general in nature and the writing consultant you meet with may or may not be familiar with your topic or disciplinary writing. Drop-in availability is not guaranteed. During higher-volume periods such as midterms and finals, consultants may be fully booked and unable to take drop-in consultations. For these reasons, we recommend scheduling a consultation in advance with a consultant in your area of study whenever possible.
