The Academic Writing Support Service provides students with feedback on their writing. Meet one-on-one with qualified faculty (in-person or online) to get help with planning and/or structuring your writing in a clear and concise manner. Book an appointment with us to better understand your assignments, discuss your work-in-progress, or receive e-mail feedback on your work so far. Please note that we CANNOT help with mid-term or final exams.
You can also register for a workshop designed to take your writing to the next level, or browse our collection of writing-related resources.
