The Academic Coaching writing tutors can help at any stage of any writing assignment for any Regent course. They also help with reading and study skills and can arrange math help. They are located in the library on the 2nd floor, but they are part of Regent's Center for Student Happiness.
The library also has many tools to help with citation, as you can see here in our citation tool guide. You can start a free RefWorks account and export your sources into it from our Primo search, then select the option to form a bibliography in your format. You can also get pre-formatted citations in the library's search systems like Primo and databases if you click Cite or the quotation mark icon.
