The University Writing Center (UWC) has two physical and online locations. Consultants and UWC programming are the same at both locations. We offer sessions during regular business hours and in the evening in order to accommodate student schedules.
Parking garages closest to University Library are the North Street Garage (next to Hine Towers), the Sport Complex Garage (visitors 1st floor; next to the IU Natatorium), and the Blackford Street Garage (requires IUPUI permit).
Metered parking, attended lots, and parking garages are marked in yellow on the Campus Map. Parking for persons with physical disabilities is available near every building and is marked clearly in each lot and garage.
The Canvanaugh UWC location will be closed during the finals and summer 2024 but will reopen at the beginning of the fall semester.
Visitor parking for Cavanaugh Hall is available in the Vermont Street Garage. Visitors can enter through either the East or West Gate. The garage is connected to the Campus Center at the far East end. Visitors can reach the Campus Center via the First (1st) and Third (3rd) Floor stairwells of the garage. Cavanaugh Hall is across the street from the Campus Center on University Boulevard.
All online sessions take place via Zoom. The Zoom link will be located in your consultant’s biography at our scheduling site.

For in-person appointments, we can work with a hard copy, your laptop, or one of the UWC computers.

Please stay tuned both here and to our social media for announcements about this exciting programming.
Policies
During the Fall 2024 Semester, students can schedule two appointments per day, not to exceed four appointments per week. This applies across locations. For example, a student cannot schedule two sessions at the library location in the morning and another session online in the afternoon. The UWC reserves the right to cancel any scheduled sessions that exceed these limits.
The services of the University Writing Center are only available to IU Indianapolis students. Student Institutional agreements prohibit us from working with students on assignments for classes at other universities. If you are an Ivy Tech student and are also a registered IU Indianapolis student, you will need to use Ivy Tech resources while working on an Ivy Tech assignment. All Purdue Indianapolis Students will need to visit the Purdue University Writing Lab.
