Online Writing Submissions
We know that sometimes the semester gets hectic and it is not always easy to make it to a one-on-one writing session with our Writing Consultants. For students who are unavailable during our regular hours of operation, we offer another option: Online paper submissions!
Students looking to receive feedback on their papers can submit their paper, along with a session request form and their assignment guidelines, to our submission drop box. Submissions will be handed off to one of our trained Writing Consultants, who will use your 30-minute session to make comments on the document and then return it to you via email.
Submission will be reviewed during Writing Lab business hours and returned within 3 - 5 business days. Students who need their paper reviewed sooner are encouraged to book a Writing Lab appointment. Visit our website to book an appointment.
Join the Writing Lab Canvas page to submit your paper!
