Center for Academic Excellence & Writing Center

Your growth is our goal.

At the Center for Academic Excellence and Writing Center, your academic development sits at the center of everything we do. Our faculty work directly with learners across MUSC to teach critical thinking in writing and learning through individualized consultation, supplemental instruction, and engagement with the humanities. We foster collaborative learning and effective, compassionate communication that supports both academic progress and professional growth.

When you schedule an appointment or join the waitlist, you connect one-on-one with a writing or learning specialist faculty member who partners with you to strengthen writing, refine learning strategies, and build academic confidence. Whether you are developing a research paper, preparing for high-stakes exams, navigating a challenging course, or writing a personal statement, research presentation, or CV to get a job or residency, our faculty helps you build tools that support long-term success.

For courses that benefit from additional content-focused support, peer-led Supplemental Instruction offers structured, collaborative learning sessions designed to reinforce course material and deepen understanding. Across all services, our goal is not simply to help you complete an assignment but to support your growth as a writer, learner, and future health professional.

Help with Scheduling

Watch the video to help troubleshoot any problems with our Bookings online appointment scheduling system.

  • If you are logged in/authenticated with your MUSC netID, you should see our schedule. When you select a type of appointment, you should see available times on a calendar.
  • If you see no available times, please email Christy Huggins to schedule.

Some students are experiencing a software problem that makes it appear that we have no available appointment times.
