History Undergraduate Writing Support Centre is NOW OPEN.

Welcome to History Undergraudate Writing Support Centre. Our three Writing Advisers who are all graduate students in History, will be available to assist you by appointment, either in-person or virtually during the 2024- 25 Fall/Winter academic terms.

Our mission is to support all undergraduate students that are taking courses with Department of History to succeed in their history writing assignments.

Here is some important information:

• The Centre can only provide support for assignments in History courses (HIS, JHA, JHN, JHP, JIH, JSH, JAH)
• Our experienced Writing Advisers are NOT copy editors. They will give you tips and share tricks to improve your writing, and they will point out structural and citation problems, but you will be the one who fixes the problems. 
• Book early!!!
• Respect your appointment time. Students who cancel twice with less than 24 hours' notice or who are no shows, will be blocked from booking.  Remember, you can always switch from in-person to virtual if you get sick.
• Our Writing Advisors will provide both virtual and in-person support sessions. The in-person session will be held in Room SS 2065 (located in the Department of History). The link to virtual session will be sent to your email before the session.
• Thursday 4-5pm and Friday 4-5pm are VIRTUAL ONLY appointments!
• If you would like to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please do so at least 24 hours in advance.
• Please be mindful of your fellow classmates and show up to the appointment. By not showing up to the appointment and without proper notice, the Centre reserves the right to refuse any appointments in the future.
