The NMHU Writing Center helps all writers (students, faculty, staff, and alumni) across campuses with any writing they’re doing at any point in the process. Our trained tutors can help you get ideas, draft, rewrite, and revise. Whether you’re a first-year student returning to complete your degree, a graduate student finishing your thesis, or an alumnus working on a writing project of your own, if you’re looking for feedback, the writing center is here to help.
At the writing center, we believe that talking about, thinking about, and practicing writing are the best ways to develop effective writing approaches. Our motto is, “Writers helping writers.” Onsite and online, our tutors are here to talk with you about writing, help build writing confidence, and strengthen your writing and thinking.
All NMHU students, alumni, faculty, and staff are welcome to three 50-minute writing center sessions per week (limit 1 per day). This allows visitors time to apply feedback to their writing and facilitate growth.

Session Information
We offer writing center sessions in three formats: onsite in Douglas Hall 115, on Zoom, and by email. You can schedule sessions through our Bookings link while logged into your NMHU account. Alumni who no longer have access to their NMHU emails can contact the writing center for assistance.
If you are experiencing any issues with Bookings or want to book same day, please email the Writing Center (writingcenter@nmhu.edu) or call during our regular hours.
We also take walk-ins on site, so if you just got out of a class, feel free to drop by for a session.
Other Services
Body Doubling Sessions: In addition to individual sessions, the writing center offers body doubling sessions onsite and on Zoom for writers who work better sitting with an individual or group. A tutor will be present to answer quick questions, but for more feedback, you’ll be encouraged to schedule a session. Everyone is welcome to schedule these once daily.
Events: We host frequent writing events on topics like citation styles, time management, and advocacy writing. We also host semesterly writing contests with prizes.
Work Space: Writers do not need a session to study in the writing center. Anyone is welcome to utilize the space as long as we are open. Just sign in, have a seat at one of our tables or computers, and get to work!
Printing: Due to our limited budget, students can only print in the writing center if they provide their own paper. We allow black and white printing of up to 10 pages for students on campus. Longer jobs must be approved by the director.
Computer Lab
Our computer lab, last updated in February 2025, is a great space to work alone or with a small group. Our space is open to students on a first-come basis during normal business hours unless reserved by an instructor. Our computers are equipped with Microsoft Office and other common programs.
At times, instructors reserve the lab for their classes. The lab is not available to students during these times.
