For Faculty:

Please include one of these syllabus statements about the Writing and Reading Center on your syllabi for undergraduates courses, and/or your syllabi for graduate courses.

Want to encourage your students to use the Writing and Reading Center? Share our services on your Canvas site, especially if you teach asynchronously. For in-person classes, we also offer a 15-20 minute interactive presentation in your classroom. To request a visit, just email tutoring@stkate.edu with the date and time you'd like us to present. Thank you for encouraging your students to use our services!

Want to require every student in your class to have a tutorial with us? Please let us know ahead of time at tutoring@stkate.edu so that we can ensure we have the capacity to provide that service. Providing the relevant assignment sheets for us to share with the tutors is also helpful so that they can be particularly well-prepared for these tutorials with your students. Thank you for requiring your students to use our services!
