BA 527

The Writing Center assists students with their writing assignments. The Center is open during each class day and is located on the fifth floor of the library in BA 527. When students come in for their Writing Center appointment, they will work with a Writing Consultant who will help them on an individual basis. Writing Consultants can work with students on any kind of paper for any class, and at any stage of the writing, whether they need help identifying a topic, organizing the ideas, learning how to cite appropriately, or using punctuation correctly. Students are free to come in for help with a particular assignment, or they 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 students to come to the Writing Center. If students have any writing difficulty, big or small, the Writing Center is here for them. Students wishing to use the Writing Center should make an appointment by using the Writing Center's Online Scheduler. The Scheduler can be found on the Writing Center's website: http://www.smsu.edu/CampusLife/WritingCenter
