Each staff member, and anyone in our online and physical spaces who uses our services or otherwise interacts with our office, must adhere to the applicable DePaul-wide regulations and procedures outlined by the Compliance Office, the University Policy and Procedures Office, the Undergraduate Student Handbook, and the Graduate Student Handbook.

In an effort to create a strong sense of community across our large and diverse staff, the Writing Center works hard to be transparent about our policies and procedures and, perhaps more importantly, to enforce them with fairness and consistency.

We expect all of our Tutors to be professional and do high-quality work.

The standards and expectations that we have are derived from both the mission of our program and our role as a student support service within the Office of Academic Affairs and the larger DePaul University community.

Understanding the Writing Center’s policies, procedures, and processes is a necessary part of working at the Writing Center.
