Writing Lab Online - Get in touch

At the Writing Lab, we want to ensure that you still get the support that you need for your academic writing during these trying times, for that reason you can be in touch with us online!

How will it work?

1. You will need a Skype account.
2. You will need to enrol for "Writing Lab" on Blackboard.
3. On BlackBoard, make an appointment using the tab on the left hand side of your screen: "Sign up from a Meeting".
4. Submit your work via the "submit your draft here button". However, in addition to the issue you wish to cover please add your Skype name to your appointment description, that way we can be in touch with you. 
 
*PLEASE NOTE: ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE IN AT LEAST 48 HOURS BEFORE AN APPOINTMENT*
 
5. An assistant will call you via our Writing Lab Skype account 5 minutes before the start of your session, this is to avoid cutting into your session by setting up. So please be ready if you have made an appointment!
