(c)ENTER - academic writing center

(c)ENTER, Ghent University's academic writing centre, helps you out with all your writing assignmnents in English. You can book an appointment for individual feedback or you can register for one or more workshops on academic writing. (c)ENTER is open to all students, from Bachelor to Master level. Unfortunately, we do not provide feedback for university staff, researchers and doctoral students.

Individual feedback

On Friday mornings, you can book a 30-minute appointment for individual feedback - online or on campus. You can bring any text in English, with a maximum of 4 pages. In academic year 2024-2025, individual feedback is available in March, April and May. You can book your appointment as from January 2025.

One of the (c)ENTER tutors will be a critical reader of your text and will point out the strengths and weaknesses of your writing beyond merely correcting grammar errors and typos.

• Online appointments are held via MS Teams. Just log in to MS Teams a few minutes prior to your scheduled appointment and wait for the (c)ENTER tutor to call you.
  
• On campus appointments are held in Campus Boekentoren, Blandijn building, room 100.053.
• You can book an appointment no longer than two months in advance.
• Same-day appointments are not possible. Please book your appointment at least one day in advance.

Please note:

- We have a maximum of two appointments per student per writing assignment. We expect that you take the time to process and apply the feedback you received on the first excerpt before you book a second appointment.

- We do not read the same text (or excerpt) twice. So please do not submit an adapted version of a text (or excerpt) you already received feedback on.
