Writing Centre

At Royal Roads University, we value the efforts our students make to improve their writing skills. However, we also recognize that the transition from writing for personal or professional reasons to academic writing can be stressful. The RRU Writing Centre exists to support your writing efforts at all stages of your program.

The Writing Centre is physically located in the Library; however, members of the RRU community are welcome to visit the Writing Centre website to access many online writing resources and support. The Writing Centre website is only available to individuals with an active RRU username and password.
