Dissertation Writing Camp

May 1, 2026

The Dissertation Writing Camp is a week-long camp that offers ASU doctoral students dedicated time and space to write their prospectuses, dissertations, or applied projects.

This camp is available to any currently enrolled ASU doctoral student who has reached candidacy or is currently writing their dissertation prospectus.

This year, our camp will be offered online from June 1 to 5, 2026, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Arizona time).

How does it work?

You can tailor your experience based on the activities that interest you and the level of peer interaction you seek. Camp attendees will have the opportunity to:

Develop a writing plan for the week and your work going forward.
Gain awareness of the resources available to you as an ASU graduate student.
Use structured writing time to further your writing and resource process.
Learn and adapt writing strategies to fit your writing needs.
Build community with peers.

How do I register?

There is a $50 program registration fee. Please note this amount will be automatically posted to your student account after the first day of the camp.

Registration for the Dissertation Writing Camp will close May 22, 2026, at 3 p.m. (Arizona Time).

You will need to be logged into your ASU Gmail account to access and complete the registration form. If you are unfamiliar with switching your personal Gmail account to your ASU Gmail account, our How-To Guide can assist with the process.
