In order to facilitate productive tutoring sessions, we are offering a student referral form that faculty can fill out for students prior to a Writing Lab (first year writers) or Writing Center (all other levels of writers) visit. This is not mandatory in any way, but it will help us to address the concerns you have for your students more directly, should you want or require that.
If you are interested in sending a referral form with your student to their LRC Writing appointment, please click here for the form. Thanks!
Are you assigning an annotated bibliography in your class? Do your students need a refresher on MLA or APA conventions? Does your upper division class need a reminder regarding classic academic conventions of writing, or a little extra guidance on organization and structure of writing within your discipline?
If you are interested in having an LRC Writing Center presentation or academic skills workshop for your class/group, please click here for Workshops and Presentations Request Form. There are many set workshops for you to choose from, but if you do not see what you need, feel free to contact the Writing Programs Coordinator:
Please request as early as possible, as we do get booked up quickly! Thank you for supporting your students, their writing, and student support at the LRC.
