We are here to support your learning, offering FREE in-person and online appts! Please check out the CAC supports, information on booking appointments, and resources at

The Centre for Academic Communication provides support in the areas of academic writing, reading, and speaking, as well as understanding academic expectations. The CAC also assists Pathways, undergraduate and graduate students with time management and planning, exam preparation, and use of AI tools through cafes, workshops, writing spaces, and individual appointments. 

Our tutors are experienced writers who focus on your role in the writing process, allowing you to develop your abilities and confidence as a writer. We have tutors from a variety of disciplines.

Who can use CAC?
