You are free to come in for help with a particular assignment, or you can work with the Writing Center staff on a continuing basis throughout the semester. The Center is easy to find, open class days, and staffed by friendly, fellow students. Use of the Center is free of charge and confidential unless a professor has required you to come to the Writing Center.
