Writing Support

Drop into the Learning Services Zoom Room by clicking the link below to get immediate one-on-one video help with your writing assignments.

Monday - Thursday, 10:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Online Writing Support provides Saskatchewan Polytechnic's post-secondary students, faculty and staff with individualized writing help to improve academic writing skills. 

Online Writing Support Hours:

Monday to Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Please note, Online Writing Support is closed all stat holidays and over the Winter Break.

Using an email-based system, you can submit your paper to receive feedback in one to two days. Learning Services will review a portion of your writing, point out sample errors and teach you how to correct those errors. For ethical reasons, we cannot proofread or edit your paper; however, additional appointments or submissions can be made to work on your assignment. 

Please click Online Writing Support Request Form to get started.

Please have the following items ready to submit:

1. Your assignment (Word format only)
2. The assignment instructions (Word, PDF or picture)
3. The assignment marking guide or rubric (Word, PDF or picture)

Note: Remember to delete the Learning Services comments from your reviewed paper before submitting it to your instructor. 

See the video below for a step-by-step tutorial on using the Online Writing Support Request Form.
