to for help with their writing; however, there are writing tutors on
campus. Tutorial
Assistance Program (TAP) is a drop-in writing center that
provides free tutoring. Students who want frequent, intensive help with
writing can make appointments with the Bernard
B. Rinella, Jr. Learning Center. There is a fee for this
service, but the fee may be waived for some students.
