Our centre provides two services to Glendon students: one-on-one assignment help, and academic writing workshops.
Individual help is provided by our ambassadors. All of the Centre鈥檚 ambassadors have expertise in languages and have the training necessary to support you, whether you need help with understanding assignment instructions, guiding your reflection, reviewing an assignment structure or explaining certain grammar rules. You can book no more than two appointments per week with an ambassador.
Our writing workshops focus on academic writing and are designed to provide you with the skills you need to succeed when writing university papers.

What to Expect at Your Writing Centre Appointment
- We expect that you have at least started working on your assignment and have written a list of questions to ask your ambassador.
- Make sure to bring with you: your homework or assignment in progress or completed, your assignment requirements/rubric, as well as your syllabus (or have it online on your laptop). If we are meeting through Zoom, ensure that you can share these documents with your ambassador.
- Appointments last 45 minutes. It is important to come prepared with your assignment in progress and your questions ready, because time goes by fast!
- Attention: the ambassadors will not write or rewrite your assignments. The Writing Centre does not offer a correction service.
- Familiarize yourself with Academic Integrity
Advice From Our Ambassadors
- Book multiple appointments for the different parts of your assignment (45 minutes goes by quickly).
- Ask all your questions regarding the assignment to your professor. Ambassadors do not know the expectations of your professor.
- Avoid asking too much of your ambassador, specifically asking to review your entire assignment a couple of hours before it is due. You risk not having enough time to make the necessary modifications.
- Know that the ambassadors are not responsible for the mark that you receive.
