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 Writing Centre exists to support your writing efforts at all stages of your program. For more information about the centre's services, please see Writing Centre services.
