Cumberland University’s Writing Center strives to help students improve their academic writing, focusing on elements like structure, syntax, and content while abiding by proper MLA, APA, and Chicago guidelines. Additionally, the office provides assistance with research, helping students locate scholarly, academic information while utilizing the library’s resources. 

The Writing Center can help you:

The Writing Center is located in the Learning and Career Commons in room 116. The center encourages walk-ins but asks that students come prepared, for upon entering the office, writing specialists will ask for a student ID, a hardcopy of the essay that needs revision, and the prompt that the professor provides.

Please email writingcenter@cumberland.edu or call (615) 453-6346 for any additional information.

What holds many students back isn’t their lack of knowledge, but instead their test taking anxiety or ability to study. The Office of Student Success offers study skills coaching and test taking strategies to help you always put your best foot forward.
