Online submission general information:

- Tutors provide feedback on student assignments and provide suggestions to improve student writing.
- Please be aware, though, that tutors DO NOT edit student work; instead, tutors help students become better writers and self-editors.
- Tutor availability from Monday to Friday changes from semester to semester. Students can submit papers and questions on the weekend, but submissions will not be reviewed until the following week.
- Students should expect a minimum 48-hour delay (2 business days) until a tutor is available.
- Please do not request multiple sessions at the same time. We can only assign one request at a time.
- We encourage you to apply any feedback you receive during your session to future papers.
- Please send all attachments as .doc or .docx files.
- You must give specific information on what you would like the tutor to check.
- If you submit a group paper, all of the authors must also send us an email permitting us to work on the paper. Send emails to writing@mun.ca.
