After the first week of the exam period, the Writing Centre will be closed until Monday May 9, the first day of the Summer I term.
We wish all CapU students a wonderful break until your next term commences!
All sessions are first come, first served. No appointment necessary. Students must have a CapU email and student ID.
When other students are waiting, meetings will not exceed 20 minutes. Please be prepared to stay in the waiting room until it is your turn and the instructor lets you in.
So that all CapU students can take advantage of this support, please don’t expect to have more than two Zoom consultations per week.
How we can help
Writing Centre instructors can help you with any questions relating to your writing process, including but not limited to:
- understanding a course text;
- planning an assignment;
- getting feedback on a draft;
- making sense of errors that your course instructors have flagged in their assignment feedback;
- engaging with, integrating, and documenting source material using MLA, APA, Chicago, or any other academic style; and
- understanding academic integrity and avoiding plagiarism.
In accordance with our usual practices at the Writing Centre, instructors and Peer Tutors are not available to edit/proofread your work.
Instead, we will highlight errors in a portion of your assignment, provide some general comments, and point you in the direction of relevant resources. Please see our statement on Proofreading vs. Instructional Editing.
