The Academic Resource Center offers academic coaching to graduate students. The coaching curriculum goes beyond offering a menu of study skills. The emphasis of the coaching curriculum is to focus on effective time management that establishes routines, builds willpower, lowers stress, and helps students retain their cognitive energy for academic work. While academic coaches can provide specific study skill training (i.e. reading comprehension, effective note-taking, etc.), the curriculum focuses more on learning theory and how the brain works. If you are interested in receiving academic coaching, please email academicsupport@marquette.edu and identify yourself as a graduate student in your initial email. Upon receiving the email, Marquette's academic coaching staff will schedule a meeting with you.

Norman H. Ott Memorial Writing Center
Raynor Memorial Library, Room 240
(414) 288-5542

The Ott Memorial Writing Center employs trained graduate and undergraduate tutors to work with graduate students at all stages of their academic work, from first-year masters students writing seminar papers to post-docs working on articles for publication. We work with writers at any stage of the writing process to understand new genres of writing, organize and explain complex material, incorporate and document sources effectively, develop conference posters and presentations, and prepare a manuscript for submission. We also work with grad students on the writing they often need to do related to teaching: writing assignments, letters of recommendation, and much more.

Because many graduate students benefit from more structure and encouragement as they work through a large project (like a dissertation or master鈥檚 thesis) we invite grad students to participate in the Writing Accountability Partners (or WrAP) Program. This program matches you with a tutor who will ask you to set goals for your semester, help you to break those goals into achievable practices and weekly commitments, and offer accountability on a weekly basis.

We offer appointments in person and online (via a Teams-like interface provided by the Ott鈥檚 WCOnline scheduling software). Visit us at Marquette.edu/writingcenter or email us at writingcenter@marquette.edu for more details on the WrAP Program or any of our services.
