The Writing Center maintains an active eCampus site, with announcements and discussion boards where you can post questions and browse answers to some of students' more common questions about APA and writing.

Process for Using the WIRE
Students must make a reservation in order to have a paper reviewed by a dissertation editor (for dissertation or doctoral study drafts) or writing specialist (for coursework, KAM, or thesis drafts). The process for registering and making a reservation, along with explanations of what students should expect from these reviews, is available here: http://writingcenter.waldenu.edu/285.htm
