Jandrisevits Learning Center (JLC) Online Writing Lab

In this short video, you will learn how to upload a paper to the Jandrisevits Learning Center Online Writing Lab.

Do you have a research paper draft completed, but you're not sure if it is ready to be submitted to your instructor? Instead of having a friend or parent review your paper for you, have a writing professional take a look at it.

The JLC has an Online Writing Lab, also called OWL, to assist you with your work whether you are an on-campus or online student. You can access the JLC’s OWL from the Sacred Heart University homepage by typing in “online writing lab” in the search box and hitting enter.

From the results page select the first result for “Online Writing Lab” to go to the JLC’s OWL page.

The OWL homepage gives you a summary of services and what to expect from your work with OWL staff. To submit your paper draft for review by a writing tutor, click the “OWL Submission Form” link.

Be sure to fill out the submission form completely, following the instructions on the submission page. Remember, it is important to be thorough when describing your assignment, as it is essential information in ensuring you get the best feedback possible.

After submission, you should receive feedback on your paper within 24-48 hours. This service is a great way to get a set of professional eyes on your written assignments before you turn them in to your instructors. The OWL service and all support services from the JLC are free and open to all SHU students.

If you have questions about OWL or any other support service offered by the JLC, please contact them at 203-371-7820 or go visit them in person.
