GCAC Writing Centre Consultations

Writing Centre appointments are available for graduate students who seek individualized guidance on their writing. In these 40-minute sessions, trained instructors work with you to improve your capacity to plan, write, and revise your academic assignments.

During synchronous online appointments, you will meet with the writing consultant online at the booked time. The consultant will work with you using audio/video, chat, and a document-sharing whiteboard area. For in-person appointments, please visit our Writing Centre (Room MR108, 1^st Floor, McMurrich Building, 12 Queen’s Park Crescent West) on the scheduled appointment date and time.

Please note, instructors do not edit for you; they teach you to revise and edit your own work. Full instructions on booking and participating in appointments can be found here.
