Writing Lab Policy

Please keep in mind that your writing coach will not edit or write your paper for you. Although your main objective may be to perfect one assignment, we hope to strengthen your skills for the challenging papers you have yet to write. We at the Writing Lab completely understand that writing is a difficult process that requires patience, effort, and critical thinking. Our goal is to help you face and eventually overcome your writing fears!

Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel or reschedule your writing appointment, please call (314)392-2364. If you miss more than one appointment a semester without contacting us ahead of time, we reserve the right to refuse future service.
