Writing is one of the most challenging things we do. It allows us to articulate, expand and clarify our thoughts. In university, it is the main way in which students communicate with instructors. In both school and the workplace, good writing is rewarded. Your university education provides you with the opportunity to develop your thinking and writing skills. At Atkinson we recognize the importance of good writing and also how challenging it is for all of us. Writing Programs exists to help you become a confident and excellent writer.

Writing programs provides credit courses and, through the Essay Tutoring Centre, one-to-one and small group instructions. It is also the home of ESL courses at Atkinson. Writing Programs is housed in the School of Arts and Letters.
