Online Writing Center

The Learning Resources Center is offering online paper feedback from Dr. Sears and Mr. Hitt. This resource is free to all Pitt-Greensburg students, but in order to use the Online Writing Center, you must have a Gmail account.

Submit your essay to the Online Writing Center >>

All sections of the above form must be completed before you may submit your essay, and as noted on the form, any vague responses may prevent you from receiving feedback. The average turnaround time for papers is 48-72 hours; however, excessive submissions may push that back. If it will take longer for us to get your paper back to you, you will receive an e-mail with an updated timeframe.
