Writing Centre
The Writing Centre's purpose is to provide assistance in writing, organizing, and formatting academic papers in a safe and non-judgmental space. Whether you are in the early or the final stages of the writing process, the Writing Advisor will provide constructive feedback and recommend resources and strategies that are tailored to your needs. You can also receive help if you are looking to avoid plagiarism, understand your professors’ instructions and expectations, or improve your time management skills.
The Writing Centre is located in room 1217 and is open from September to April. Opening hours will be posted here as well as in the Library at the start of the semester.
