Graduate Writing Support
In partnership with the Student Success Center and UAF Graduate School, the CTL offers tailored writing support to graduate students with a focus on longer form projects like theses and dissertations.
Writing support is available for UAF graduate students at all stages of the writing process. From defining your questions or crafting a proposal to working through dissertation structure and edits, tutoring and other resources are available to get you over the mountains and through the woods of your writing process. Unsure if you have a process yet? Book an appointment to meet with Victoria, our graduate writing support specialist, who will work one-on-one with you to to sort questions big and small.
Your thesis is like your first love. It will be difficult to forget. In the end, it will represent your first serious and rigorous academic work, and this is no small thing.
