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 will
not edit or proofread papers. By this, we mean that we are
happy to work with students to improve their organization and grammar, but we
will not simply "fix" the paper without their learning and involvement.
- The OWL generally has a 48-hour turn around time. Give yourself plenty of
time to receive a response and revise your paper before the due date.
- Papers submitted Friday through Sunday may not receive a response until
the following Tuesday, as the OWL closes on weekends.
- The OWL accepts a maximum of five papers per day. If we have already
received the day's limit, you will be notified by e-mail that you will need to
re-submit your paper on the following day.
- You may submit the same paper twice, as long as revisions have been made
between each submission.
