Services & Schedule

Benefit from one-on-one, drop-in support from CapU English instructors, in-person. As instructors who teach courses (including writing-focused ones) and grade assignments at CapU, they are well positioned to help you understand assignment expectations and see significant improvements in your writing. Learn more about how we can help on the main Writing Centre page. 

The Writing Centre Peer Tutors are CapU students with strong writing and communication skills who are closely mentored by our English instructors in order to help CapU students with some aspects of the writing process. They are available on Zoom.

Each term, we offer occasional workshops – free for all CapU students – that cover key writing skills such as developing thesis statements, outlining, integrating quotes, learning citation styles, and understanding academic integrity. Visit our Writing Workshops page for more information. 

The CapU Writing Centre has developed an array of handouts related to the writing process, which cover topics from essay and academic assignment genres, to research and documentation, to writing mechanics. Our English instructors can recommend these handouts in person in the Learning Commons section of the library, and some of them are also available at Writing Resources.
