Writing Lab

The Writing Lab, located in G-219, provides writing support to all BPCC students regardless of discipline. Students may make appointments with qualified English tutors for one-on-one tutoring. These tutoring sessions last approximately twenty to thirty minutes and are free of charge. The Writing Lab also serves as a computer lab where students may conduct research, write papers, and print their work. The Writing Lab is open to students during peak daytime hours, along with limited hours for evening students. Additionally, the Writing Lab offers tutoring services to students enrolled in online courses who may not have access to campus. Students can upload writing assignments to the Canvas learning management system, and qualified English tutors will provide written feedback to the student within seventy-two hours. www.bpcc.edu/writinglab
