Welcome to the Scripps College Writing Center!
The Scripps Writing Center, located in in Humanities 231, provides one-on-one writing support with experienced peer tutors. We welcome any student at any level, studying any discipline, working on any assignment, at any stage of the writing process, from a first-year student brainstorming on a first essay to a senior finishing a thesis, in sessions averaging about thirty minutes.
The Writing Center is open! Feel free to drop in, or schedule an appointment on this site.
During the semester, the Writing Center is open on Sundays from 7-9pm, Mondays-Thursdays from 4-6pm and 7-9pm, and Fridays from 10am-noon.
If you make an appointment, we will do out best to keep your time assigned tutor, but due to tutor availability, changes may occur. If you miss your appointment three times, you will not be able to make an appointment until next semester. You may still come for drop-ins anytime we are open!
If you are in isolation or quarantine, please make an appointment and note that on your appointment request; your tutor will send you an email at or before the appointment to let you know where to meet on Zoom.
To book an appointment, register for an account by clicking the link to the left. Once you register, you'll be able to see when appointments are available and book an appointment. Note: If you have a longer project, you can book two half-hour appointments in a row with the same tutor.
Librarian Liz Galoozis will be available at the Writing Center Mondays from 4-6pm to help with research topics, finding and evaluating sources, and citation questions. Look for her appointments on the schedule or just drop by!
