SNL-Experienced Writing Center Tutors Available

The DePaul University Center for Writing-based Learning has added subject-matter and genre expertise to its appointment scheduling website. Now, SNL writers can use the “Area of Expertise” drop-down menu at the top of the Loop or Lincoln Park schedule to limit the schedule to those tutors who have the expertise they need. Areas of expertise of particular importance to SNL students are research papers, research proposals, SNL (APs and ILPs), APA and MLA citation, and Digication/ePortfolios.

Writers can also call the Loop or Lincoln Park locations to have a receptionist help them make an appointment.

See below for information on scheduling a Writing Center appointment using the new “Area of Expertise” feature (click to enlarge), and click here for the Writing Center's Autumn Quarter hours.
Please consider taking advantage of the valuable resources available at the Writing Center this quarter!
