CWSC Policy for Writing Seminars

The preference is for seminars to be delivered in person.

If the seminar is to be delivered in a classroom setting, the instructor of the class must be present.

One month’s notice is required to book a seminar.

Seminars can be delivered in a location of your choosing, or the CWSC can book a room in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.
