Writing Center
The Regis College Writing Center is a community of writers who enjoy talking about words, ideas, and language. All writers need feedback, and our consultants respond to your writing, asking questions about ideas or sentences to make sure you are expressing yourself clearly and concisely. In addition to our writing services, we have computers for students to use, whether or not they are working with a consultant. The Writing Center is also a quiet place to study between classes.
Students enrolled in the College for Professional Studies or in the Rueckert-Hartman School for Health Professions should contact their advisors about writing resources available to them.Philosophy
The Writing Center has been a supportive environment for writers of all abilities since 1989. From brainstorming to revising, we are here to help students, faculty, and staff at any stage of writing because we assert that good writing comes from REwriting. We also believe that the written product is important, so we help with grammar and usage and suggest ways to proofread final drafts. Although we do not guarantee "A" papers, we do offer the resources necessary for improving both writing and writers.

Writing Consultants
Consultants are knowledgeable writers. In addition to having a faculty recommendation, they must submit a writing sample, maintain at least a 3.0 GPA, and pass an editing test. Candidates are also interviewed to determine whether they are patient and sensitive listeners who are able to explain complex ideas.
After being hired, consultants take the one-credit course PC 210A, Peer Tutoring, to learn inquiry and collaboration techniques for their work with other writers. In addition, they write and revise numerous papers to assure that they understand the writing process.
