| The Writing Centre is open for the Summer Session.
During the 2013 Summer Session, all undergraduate students taking courses in the Faculty of Arts and Science on the St. George campus are eligible to use any of the five college writing centres that remain open for the summer. This includes UTM and UTSC students (though you can only bring work for St. George campus courses). You may reserve ONE appointment per week at EITHER New College, Innis College, University College, Victoria College, OR Woodsworth College. |

The New College Writing Centre provides one-on-one instruction in the various forms of academic writing and oral presentations required in your courses. You can bring your work-in-progress from any course you are taking. Bring your work at any stage in its development, from brain-storming and planning to revising a draft. We can help you learn to:
- interpret assignments,
- read texts critically,
- take notes effectively,
- form a strong thesis or research question,
- develop your analysis,
- construct a coherent argument,
- organize your paper effectively,
- use and document sources properly,
- revise your drafts, and improve grammar and style.
We don’t “proof-read” papers for you; we will help you learn to identify and correct problems of grammar and syntax. (Remember to bring hard copies of documents; we can’t read from laptop screens.) (Please note that we can’t look at admission/application letters or any supporting documents. For help with applications, see Resources)
