Guidelines and Policies

Guidelines & Policies

The Writing Centre provides writing consultations and assistance with improving all areas of communications (course content, reading, listening and speaking skills). The Writing Centre is to be used for Mohawk College academic related activities only.

  • Students are expected to participate in the writing consultation process
  • While drop-in writing consultations are possible, you are strongly encouraged to book an appointment (opens new window)
  • Remember: this is a service provided for students, by students

 

Assignments

  • Come in at least 24 hours before your assignment is due, so that you have enough time to make revisions
  • Bring one assignment or draft per visit, the outline and rubric provided by your professor and any necessary textbooks or materials

Note: We assist with writing consultations. We do not compose, edit, or re-write assignments. Therefore, YOU are ultimately responsible for your work and assigned grade.
