• Sessions are held every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 2000 hours to 2130 hours in Grimsley Hall Auditorium.
• Sessions are monitored by Writing Center staff and upper-class cadets.
• Participants must sign in and out, and the attendance record is an official document.
• Program is run simultaneously with the Content Tutorials program so that participants can take advantage of the resources.
• Limited computers are available. Participants are encouraged to schedule their computer work for other times.
