University Writing Services

SLU’s University Writing Services (UWS) offers free writing support for any stage of the writing process and on any type of writing assignment (4-7 pages) to students enrolled* in the 1818 program.

To request this support:

• Please fill out the Campus Partner Online Submission Form found here.

• Have prepared a draft of your work, which you will add as an attachment in the Campus Partner Online Submission Form.

• Include a description of the project and your writing goals, which you will manually enter after the file upload.

After submitting the form, you will receive feedback within 1-5 business days.** 

The writing consultant will make suggestions using Microsoft Word's Comment function accompanied by an email summarizing their main thoughts, observations, and positive/constructive remarks. 

For questions or to check the status of your submission, please email the 1818 Office at 1818@slu.edu.

*The student must be requesting assistance for an assignment given in an 1818 course for which the student is registered; assistance will not be provided to students who are not taking the course for college credit or for non-1818 coursework.

**UWS will be closed during Labor Day (September 4), Wellness Day (September 27), Fall Break (October 26-29), and Thanksgiving (November 22-26); responses to student work may take longer during peak times in the semester like midterms (October 16-20).
