Graduate Writing Support
The Rowan Writing Center offers support to all graduate students from all masters and doctoral programs.
30 or 60-Minute Individual Peer Writing Consultations
Meet with a Writing Center Tutor, either in person in the Writing Center or in a live online appointment, to talk over your work. If you are working on a long academic piece, please choose the most important element of that piece to discuss during your session, or consider setting up multiple sessions in order to cover as much of your piece as is necessary.
To make an appointment, please use the Writing Center’s online scheduler at https://rowan.mywconline.com/. If you do not yet have an account, please create one. If you need assistance with your account, please email writingcenter@rowan.edu or call 856-256-4376.
If you would like to set up multiple appointments to work on a specific piece, like a major project, thesis, or dissertation, please email writingcenter@rowan.edu with that request.

Graduate Write-Ins
The Writing Center offers two weekly “write-ins” for graduate students. A write-in is a relaxed, informal, supportive space for writers to work on whatever project or assignment they feel the need to make progress on. These write-ins give graduate students access to both Writing Center tutors and Graduate Research staff for support on matters writing-related, research-related, and process-related.
Tuesdays 4pm-6pm: Join Jenn Tharp, Graduate Research Services Specialist, for a few uninterrupted hours of research or writing; tutors will be available to help with writing concerns, while Jenn will be available to answer questions about the thesis and dissertation process, including paperwork, deadlines, fees and formatting. This write-in can be attended by any graduate student, but is best for thesis- and dissertation-track students.
Thursdays 12pm-2pm: Join Dom Marconi, Graduate Tutor, in the Writing Center for a relaxed writing session, featuring Writing Center tutor feedback on any stage of any assignment; feedback will be concerned with whatever you feel is most pressing, whether that be professionalism, style, credibility, grammar, or anything else. This write-in can be attended by any graduate student, but is best for non-thesis-track graduate students.
Drop-Off Service
The Writing Center offers a drop-off service for longer pieces of graduate student writing. After uploading your document, your work will be assigned to a Graduate Tutor. Your tutor will read your uploaded document, keeping in mind any special areas of concern you have indicated, and will respond as a reader. This feedback will be sent to you in a client report from through the automated system. There is a 25-page limit to the documents uploaded to the drop-off service; if you intend to send a document that is longer than 25 pages, please know that your assigned tutor will only work on 25 pages per drop-off. If you so choose, you may schedule an appointment with your tutor, either online or in-person, to discuss your feedback after your tutor has returned it to you.
To access this service, please visit https://rowan.mywconline.com/ and choose the “Graduate Thesis & Dissertation Support” schedule on the log-in page.
A Note On Tutor Availability:
There are a limited number of tutors who are assigned read-ahead work, and a limited amount of time allotted for read-ahead preparation and consultations. This service is first-come, first-served, and time slots are scheduled as they are requested. If the service becomes particularly busy, your feedback might be sent to you a few weeks after you initially upload your document here. If you intend to ask for a read-ahead appointment, please do so early.
