Fountain Campus: We are in S403 (Seeds Building). Red pencils point the way from the North Block entrance (by the Print Shop on Granville) or from the North Side of the Student Lounge.

-brainstorming

-researching

-formulating a thesis

-explaining, organizing, and connecting your points

-grammar, spelling, punctuation

-English as another language

-clarity and focus in your writing

-citations and documentation of sources

-developing your voice as a confident writer

How to book an appointment

It’s always better to make an appointment, although drop ins may be possible. Please contact The Writing Centre’s director Becka Barker at bbarker@nscad.ca.
