The Writing Centre is pleased to offer services for MUN distance students who are residing outside of the greater St. John's area.

Who qualifies for distance services?

• Students who live an hour or more outside of St. John's.
• If you live in the greater St. John's area (less than one hour away), we ask that you use our in-person services.

Online services work like in-person services

• Students can ask writing-related questions and submit documents for tutoring.
• Tutors provide feedback on student assignments and making suggestions on ways to improve student writing.
• Please be aware, though, that tutors DO NOT edit student work; instead tutors help students become better writers and self-editors.

Please keep in mind:

• Please do not request multiple sessions at the same time. We can only assign one request at a time.
• Students should expect a minimum 48-hour delay (2 business days) until a tutor is available.
• We encourage you to apply any feedback you receive during your session to future papers. 
• Please send all attachments as .doc or .docx files.
• Note: If you submit a group paper, all of the authors must also send us an email granting us permission to work on the paper. Send emails to: writing@mun.ca.
