The SAS SRC is open most weekdays to use as a quiet study space. It has a free printer (just for your homework or resumes), and we have a microwave for students to use to heat their lunches!
The SAS SRC will have limited hours Sept 15-26.
Note: If the SAS SRC is closed, the Print Center on the 2nd floor of Newman Library is open- 24/7. The SRC printer is black & white only. You do need to connect with a USB cable (provided). The printer does NOT have wireless connection, so you need to bring your laptop to connect.

Writing Support
Synchronous Tutoring
Face-to-face in Newman Library or live online writing consultations
- These appointments take place in real-time with both the client and coach, face-to-face in our location in Newman Library or online.
- Clients can talk with a writing coach on anything writing-related — from brainstorming topic ideas to issues of development, organization, or editing.
- These appointments are the best option for most writers; we can help at any stage of the writing process.
Asynchronous Tutoring
24 hours later written feedback
- This is a very one-sided appointment, so we recommend using it as a follow-up to a synchronous appointment (with the same coach whenever possible) for a final read-through of a draft.
- For this type of appointment, clients share information about their project and attach their draft to receive written feedback from the coach within 24 hours of the appointment's start time.
- Coaches do not edit clients' papers but will try to provide some revision suggestions, in addition to briefly commenting on global concerns such as focus, development, and organization.
- This service does not provide writing assistance beyond a quick read-through. For more comprehensive assistance, choose a synchronous appointment instead.
