How to access writing support at Laurier

Would you like feedback on a writing assignment? Do you want to improve your writing skills? As a Laurier student, you have access to a wealth of support designed to help you succeed.

Writing Support is a multi-campus unit that helps students improve their writing skills through one-on-one appointments, workshops, and other resources. 

Book a One-on-One Appointment

For one-on-one appointments, you can meet with a writing tutor to develop your assignment and writing habits. This could include understanding the assignment, developing the paper’s structure and organization, and/or revising for style and grammar.

Writing Support offers both in-person and virtual appointments, which are up to 50-minutes in length. For quick consultations, drop-in support is also available at specific times.

Attend Writing Workshops

If you are looking to enhance your skills, a variety of workshops on a range of writing topics are available throughout the year. As a bonus, if you attend two writing appointments and two writing workshops, you are eligible for the Co-Curricular Record credit.

• Handouts: For quick access to information on all aspects of academic writing including citations, assignment types, and grammar and style.
