The Writing Centre

The Writing Centre is a free service available to all STU students. Whether you are starting your first essay or completing your fourth-year honors thesis, the Writing Centre can assist you with all aspects of the writing process, from planning an outline to polishing a final draft.


What services does the Writing Centre provide?

The Writing Centre can help you:

  • understand your writing assignment
  • organize your thoughts and develop a writing strategy,
  • plan and improve your assignments,
  • use different writing styles,
  • properly cite sources and format papers,
  • learn how to do more effective library research,
  • strengthen your writing skills.

The Writing Centre does not help you compose, re-write or proofread assignments. Instead, we work with you to help you become a better writer. YOU are ultimately responsible for the work you submit and the grade you earn, but we are happy to help make the writing process as easy as possible!

How often can I visit the Writing Centre?

Students can book up to two 50-minute appointments per week (one per day), availability permitting.
