Still Working During December Intercession???

Here are the hours of locations where you can keep working on campus …

The University Center for Writing-based Learning (the Writing Center) is closed during December Intercession, but there are still many places to go for help, support, and workspace as you continue writing:

1. DePaul Libraries - most of the libraries are open through December 22nd, though some have limited hours on weekends. See the library website for details: http://library.depaul.edu/About/hours.aspx (Tip: Working late in the Loop? Check out the Law Library in the Lewis Center. It is open late, and on weekends).

2. The Adult Student Center - on the 11th floor of the DePaul Center is another resource and “place to go” for adult students, with support staff and group workspaces.

3. DePaul's computer labs are still available - see locations and hours here https://www.is.depaul.edu/computers/labs/locations.asp#loop

4. Available 24/7 are the SNL Writing Guide for students online, and the Writing Center’s really comprehensive online resources for students working on papers.
