In addition, the university offers a number of courses in writing expository prose. A few courses are also offered free of charge for upper-year students to provide practice and instruction in specialized writing skills. They do not count for credit, but students who complete them get notes on their transcripts. For further information about timing, eligibility, and registration, ask at your college registrar and look at the Timetable. The School of Continuing Studies at U. of T. offers non-credit courses on academic writing for students learning English as a second language.
Courses start at various times throughout the year.
Some are offered as distance learning. The Writing Centres provided free of charge at undergraduate colleges will help you develop the writing skills needed throughout your university studies. They offer both individual counselling and group workshop sessions, and some sponsor non-credit courses on writing. In the individual consultations, trained writing instructors will help you improve your ability to plan, write, and revise, using your assignments from any subject as examples. You are entitled to use the writing centre of the college where you are registered or living in residence, or the department where you are taking a course.
