NOTE
- Advisors will make suggestions, but not do copy editing.
- If we suspect that a paper is plagiarized, we will use detection software (iThenticate) to check for similarities with other texts. If a serious case of plagiarism is detected, we will report it to the relevant person in charge (e.g., supervisor)
- If you do not attend an appointment without notice more than two times per term (8 weeks)/holiday period, you will be unable to book further sessions at the Writing Center for three weeks after the last missed appointment.
