Covid Safety Protocol
The Writing Center supports the Culture of Care on campus and follows all NSU COVID protocols.
Statement on Face Mask Requirement:
Our staff respects the individual choice of students, community members and visitors to the Writing Center who choose not to wear a mask.
Although it is not required that a visitor to the Writing Center wear a mask, please respect those who are masking and those who may ask that you wear a mask when in their presence so that they may fully protect themselves and/or their loved ones against the COVID-19 virus.
Because safety is our primary concern, and we want all students to benefit from our services, the Writing Center offers hybrid consultations and workshops to accommodate those who choose to take advantage of our services off-campus.
One-to-one Consultations
Writers of all levels and across all disciplines are welcome. Our consultations are designed to provide each student assistance with any type of writing project. Our professional and accomplished writing consultants will guide you through your writing project. You will begin your consultation by identifying goals for your 30- to 60-minute session.
For group consultations, call the Writing Center at 757-823-2271 or email at writingcenter@nsu.edu.
You may want to focus on:
- Brainstorming or researching a topic
- Polishing a thesis statement
- Beginning or editing a draft
- Organizing content
- Reviewing grammar rules
- Using MLA, APA, other documentation styles
