About Us

Important Announcement about the Commons Starting January 30, the Writing Centre tutor at the Commons will be working by appointment with undergraduate students. To make an appointment, please drop by the Commons' help desk. |
NOTE: Hours for the Spring 2012 term are now posted on our Hours page.
Distance Students: The online service is open for the Spring term.
The Writing Centre is a free facility for all Memorial University students, undergraduate or graduate, who want help with their writing. Staffed by a director and by university students trained as writing tutors, the Writing Centre's mandate is to help university students become better writers and critical thinkers.
The Writing Centre works on an appointment basis in order to reduce wait times and guarantee that tutors are available to work with you. Appointments can last up to 45 minutes.
To Make Appointments
Simply drop by SN2053 or call 864-3168. To make appointments at the Commons, drop by the Commons' help desk.
PLEASE NOTE: Tutors at the Writing Centre no longer conduct tutoring sessions on laptops. Please bring a hard copy of your work to your session.
Graduate students can also make appointments by emailing vryan@mun.ca (Please specify in your email that you are a graduate student.) Our graduate student services are in great demand, and we strongly recommend that graduate students make appointments as well in advance as possible. Due to the finite number of graduate appointments available, we can seldom accommodate last-minute requests.
