JMU University Writing Center (UWC)
Located on the first floor of the Student Success Center, the University Writing Center is staffed by trained peer, graduate, and faculty tutors who offer free assistance with all types of academic and non-academic writing. UWC tutors can help you brainstorm for ideas, narrow your focus, organize your ideas, shape your work for different audiences in different disciplines, incorporate and document your sources effectively, and develop your revision strategies.

JMU Learning Centers
- JMU Learning Centers"The individual programs and centers that make up the Learning Centers department maintain distinctive practices appropriate to their disciplines and missions. For example, the Science & Math Learning Center provides walk-in, "café style" tutoring to support specific, introductory STEM classes, while the Communication and Writing Centers deliver mostly prescheduled individual and group consultations to students in any subject. The Learning Centers continue to expand their academic mission beyond tutoring to support faculty development and the scholarship of teaching and learning."
