Student Referral Program
This program is designed for students who have difficulty producing writing that meets academic standards. Faculty can place students on referral to receive tutoring each week from the same tutor, for as long as necessary during the semester. The Student Referral Form is available online.

Classroom Presentations & Workshops

Consultants provide brief classroom introductions to students about the services of the WRC. Faculty may also request 50-minute workshops on the following subjects: MLA-Style Documentation, APA-Style Documentation, and Revision Strategies. To request a workshop, use the WRC Classroom Presentation & Workshop Request Form.  (Please give us at least one week's notice to schedule a classroom presentation or workshop.)

Peer Response Group Workshops
Faculty may also request consultants join them in the classroom to organize and assist with peer response group workshops. Use the Workshop Request Form for this service. (Please give us at least one week's notice to schedule a peer response group workshop.)
