Writing Lab

GGU's Writing Lab, located in the new Student Services Center at 40 Jessie Street on the 3rd floor in room 332 of the San Francisco Campus, is a FREE student service provided by the Center for Academic and Professional Success and the English Department. Here, all students work one-on-one with experienced tutors who have master's degrees in English and education. Most tutors are also GGU instructors, so they understand what it takes for students to succeed in their class work and in their careers.

The Writing Lab meets a variety of needs. Some students drop by seeking help on a particularly tricky assignment. Others, who may be less fluent in English or need more one-on-one help than is generally available in class, use this free service regularly. For both groups, the Writing Lab may provide the edge they need to succeed. Students with learning disabilities are encouraged to make use of the specialized services available - just call the Office of Student Affairs, Disability Services at 415-442-7863 and ask for a letter of introduction.

In addition to providing help with written class assignments, tutors are available to help students with reading assignments, oral presentations, resumes, and preparation for job interviews.

The best time to start using the Writing Lab is early in the term. Students are encouraged to take their course outlines to the tutors to discuss term objectives and get help with individual assignments.

Whether the students are looking for a second opinion on an essay, the answer to a specific question, or more in-depth help, the Writing Lab is an excellent option for both graduate and undergraduate students.
