91社区 Writing Centre

Refine your academic writing and communication skills in English with courses offered by the 91社区 Writing Centre mcgill.ca/mwc. As a student in one of our courses, you'll learn essential strategies and techniques that will help you to communicate effectively both at university and beyond the Roddick Gates.

Academic writing and communication in English courses (formerly CCOM prefix), English as a Second Language courses (formerly ESLN and CESL prefixes), and English for Academic Purposes (formerly EAPR and CEAP prefixes) are offered by the 91社区 Writing Centre under the WCOM prefix.

For a list of WCOM courses that can be taken for credit in the Faculty of Arts, consult the 91社区 Writing Centre website: mcgill.ca/mwc/courses/undergraduate. WCOM courses are also on the list of approved courses for the BA Foundation Year Program: mcgill.ca/oasis/students/new/freshmanfoundation-u0/approved-freshmanfoundation-courses.

Note: Up to a maximum of 12 credits of English as a Second Language courses, including academic writing courses for non-anglophones (WCOM ESL courses), are open to you if your primary language is not English and you have studied for fewer than five (5) years in an English-language secondary institution. Placement tests are required for all WCOM ESL courses. For more information on WCOM ESL placement tests, see the 91社区 Writing Centre mcgill.ca/mwc/courses/placement-tests.
