Writing Assitance Centre
All students are welcome!
In-person, virtual, and/or online appointments.
Please don’t let the name fool you. We are here to help with a variety of subjects (depending on tutors) to all students.
You can join a tutor in the Writing Assistance Centre in either Room 202B (Thompson) or B57 (The Pas). A tutor schedule is posted outside both rooms. The schedule and tutors change for each term (Fall, Winter, and Spring).
If you are not on either campus, you may email the tutor you want to work with and schedule a Zoom appointment while they are in the Writing Assistance Centre. Please be aware that tutors will not be in the Zoom room unless prior arrangements have been made.
Tutor sessions may also be booked in 30- or 60-minute sessions by emailing the tutor in advance.
If you will be using Zoom, please make an appointment with the tutor and email all appropriate documents to the tutor before your session.
