The Office for Student Success and Achievement offers several resources and services for UGA’s graduate students. Whether you need writing assistance or are looking for ways to connect with other graduate students in a small group workshop, OSSA is ready to support all graduate students at UGA. Click through our programs below to learn more.
Graduate Writing Tutoring
OSSA provides online (asynchronous) writing tutoring by appointment to UGA’s graduate students, IEP students, visiting scholars, and visiting diplomats.
For Summer 2024, graduate writing tutoring will begin on June 6th and will conclude on August 2nd.
Use of Graduate Writing Resources
Patrons of OSSA’s Graduate Writing Tutoring do not have to participate at the time of an online appointment, but patrons do need to submit a document in .doc or .docx format to the appropriate e-mail address before the confirmed appointment time. For example, for a 9:00 a.m. appointment, a patron could submit the document to the appropriate e-mail address on the night before the appointment. After requesting an appointment, please look for a confirmation e-mail message from your tutor with instructions, including the appropriate address to e-mail the document to.
