The Tiger Writing Lab and tutorial services are available to any currently enrolled student needing help at any stage of the writing process. Unlock your writing potential with our comprehensive support.

Tiger Writing Lab Guidelines

• Students must sign-in with TSU sign-in information
• Students may drop in at any time to see a tutor. Students can come to the Writing Lab or online for a 15–30-minute tutorial session(s) up to 3 times each week, but not more than once a day.
• Tutors will review and offer suggestions for paper corrections. It is your discretion to edit assignments. We give advice based on writing guidelines and essay content.
• Students must bring a copy of the assignment or essay prompt and a hardcopy (typed) of the paper for in person appointments. However, for online in person assistance, you must submit a draft of the paper accompanied with prompt and your writing concerns. You can request an online virtual tutorial session.
• Tutors will review mid-terms, essay exams or final exams assignments.
• To maintain the learning environment, we ask that all patrons silence cell phones and disruptive devices while in the lab. If you need to take a phone call, please step out of the lab into the main hallway.
• The lab will not hold writing tutorial session within 15 minutes of closing. You will have to submit paper online.
• Papers submitted require 24–48-hour turnaround to return your paper after reviewing. We ask that you submit papers early.

Note: The Tiger Writing Lab offers suggestions for improving the content of the paper structure based on MLA or APA guidelines and rhetorical stylistic development.
