Making Appointments | Eligibility | Our Policies | Resources

We open for the summer session on May 17. Appointments are now posted for May and June.

During the 2012 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. 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, St. Michael’s College, Victoria College, University College OR Woodsworth College.

 English Language Learning:

ELL010H (Intensive Academic English), a non-credit course for multilingual students, will be offered this summer from August 20-29, 2012. Develop writing, oral presentation and critical thinking strategies for your credit courses. This course includes interactive lectures, small group activities, and individual feedback on your writing and oral presentations. To find out more, visit the English Language Learning Program webpages.

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)
