stage of the writing process. Students seeking assistance with their writing
can make an appointment by logging-on to the writing center website at
http://writingcenter.gmu.edu and following the directions for scheduling
appointments online.
Appointments last 45 minutes and begin on the half hour. Tutors work
with students to improve their overall writing skills as well as the
paper at hand. Sessions run most smoothly if students remember to bring
along a copy of the teacher's assignment and have some idea of the kinds
of issues they'd like to discuss. Tutors can't proofread papers for students,
but they will work with students on particular grammatical and sentence
concerns in addition to larger concerns such as thesis construction, organization,
style and tone, integrating, citing and documenting research, and so on.
Students unable to make appointments during available times may make use
of the Online Writing Lab (OWL) at http://writingcenter.gmu.edu/owl/index.html.

necessary. When making use of this service, you must remember the parking
space number in which you've parked. The system works by entering your
parking space number into the Parking Pay Station machine and paying for
the amount of parking time needed. It is important to note that a vehicle
which leaves a paid space prior to the expiration of time relinquishes
any balance of time without refund. The balance of time does NOT transfer
to any other spaces. Rates are $1 per hour. Individuals can pay for parking
in one-hour increments. The machines accept $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills
(U.S. currency only) and give receipts.
