Academic Research

The primary goal of the University Reading and Writing Center (URWC) is to provide encouraging, focused, and non-judgmental one-to-one tutorials in reading and writing for any undergraduate or graduate student at CSUS . In a collaborative and supportive environment, our peer tutors offer help with reading and writing at all points in the process, from initial planning and organizing through developing and revising a paper or understanding difficult texts.

Student leaders assist students in learning collaboratively in an informal educational community through the Supplemental Instruction (SI) program, or the SI Plus program. PARC is also the home of the Workshops and Individual Tutoring program (WIT) and a Peer Led Advising for a College Experiences (PLACE) program, which can help students successfully navigate the demands of our academic community.

The campus has purchased a site license, which allows students, faculty and staff to download a copy of EndNote X8. This program takes time to learn and is best used for large numbers of references.
