New Writing Lab Open for Business!

The Writing Lab has moved from the 4th Floor to Room 109! The new lab offers a larger space and additional resources to better support our students. See below for more information!

Summary of Academic Writing Lab Resources

The writing lab offers 30 three-hour labs each seven-and-a half-week term on weekends and on some weeknights. These are non-appointment, one-on-one sessions. Individual sessions last about 45 minutes. The lab schedule is posted in the library, on bulletin boards, and in room 109. 

The writing lab encourages students to attend scheduled lab sessions in room 109. Alternatively, students may submit MS Word documents as attachments and receive a critique by e-mail, usually within 48 hours.

The writing lab will not accept new papers within 5 days of the due date. Our motto: “Come to learn—Plan to return.”

Writing lab assistants help students with:

·      APA format, citations, and reference-list entries

·      Grammar, punctuation, and academic style

·      Organization, length of sentences, paragraph formation, sense, clarity, and flow

·      Plagiarism

Lab assistants are not permitted to edit, proofread, or rewrite any parts of a student paper. The work students turn in must be their own. By pointing out examples of errors and providing appropriate models, the lab teaches students how to find and correct similar errors.
