UNLV's Online Writing Lab : The OWL
 The
Online Writing Lab (OWL)
The OWL is a free service provided by the UNLV Writing Center. Any UNLV
student may use the OWL to:
- ask quick questions about writing that can't be answered using our online
Writing Tips.
- electronically submit papers to be reviewed by a consultant at the UNLV
Writing Center.
Before using the OWL, please review these general guidelines:
- Your submission must be no longer than five double-spaced pages, about
1250 words.
- In accordance with our standard Writing Center policy, we cannot edit or proofread papers. By this, we mean that we are
happy to point out ways students can improve their organization and grammar, but we
will not simply "fix" the paper or do a "grammar check."
- The OWL generally has a two business days' turnaround time. Give yourself plenty of
time to receive a response and revise your paper before the due date.
- Papers submitted Thursday afternoon through Sunday may not receive a response until
the following Tuesday, as the OWL closes on weekends.
- The OWL accepts a maximum of three papers per day. If we have already
received the day's limit, you will be notified by e-mail that, if you still wish us to respond, you will need to
re-submit your paper.
- OWL submissions are limited to two per week per student.
- You may submit the same paper twice, as long as revisions have been made
between each submission.
The OWL is now open for Spring 2012.
