Writing Center

Registered credit students at the Extension School, whether beginning or veteran writers, can meet with Writing Center tutors who will help them look critically at their writing. The Center does not provide proofreading or editing services; instead, students can discuss with tutors such writing topics as thesis, organization, focus, style, and format. Individual sessions last 50 minutes. Students may sign up by calling the Writing Center, (617) 495-4163. Since tutoring services are in high demand, students should make appointments in advance. No more than five appointments per student may be scheduled each term.

The Writing Center, located in Grossman Library, is open September 30 to January 9 in the fall and February 10 to May 15 in the spring. The Center's hours are Monday and Tuesday, 5-9 pm, and Wednesday and Thursday, 3-7 pm.
