Writing Center
About the Writing Center
The Writing Center of Bellevue University invites all students , faculty, and staff to stop by whenever they are in the Library on the main campus. Whether a writer is still looking for ideas to write about or is nearly done with an assignment, the trained consultants in the Writing Center will offer their professional feedback and encouragement. The consultants do not proofread but rather focus on the writer as well as on the writing assignment, helping the writer refine those skills that will lead to success with future writing tasks.
Hours and Location
The Writing Center is located in Room 439 of the Learning Commons, which can be found in the northeast corner of the Freeman/Lozier Library on Bellevue University's main campus. Our services are available Monday through Thursday from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and on most Friday afternoons from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Changes in this schedule may occur because of emergencies or conflicts with other Writing Center sponsored events. Walk-in consulting is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Scope of Service
Writers who visit the Writing Center remain solely responsible for the content, grammar, punctuation, style and organization of their written work. Consultants never rewrite, correct, or grade the documents submitted to them. They suggest changes that they feel are most likely to improve a written work, but writers are free to accept or reject the suggestions of consultants. The fact that a written document has been reviewed by a consultant, therefore, does not guarantee that it is free from errors or from plagiarism, or that it deserves any one grade in particular.
