About Us

Welcome to OWAP

(Online Writing Assistance Program)

OWAP provides an online method for Leeward CC student writers to connect with a writing consultant for help with writing assignments for any Leeward CC course, with personal statements for scholarship applications, and with study (success) skills.

As we do with our face-to-face sessions, we will let your instructor know you have used our services and what we discussed.

You have two ways to connect online with a writing consultant:

LIVE-ONLINE

Connect with a writing consultant for a live chat, video chat, or voice chat using a free Skype account.

E-MAIL HELP (NOT AVAILABLE DURING SUMMER 2009)

Connect with a writing consultant asynchronously through e-mail.

General Guidelines

Weekly Limit: As a general rule, students may submit one paper per week to OWAP for each of their Leeward CC courses.
Plagiarism: Leeward CC is committed to preserving academic responsibility and integrity and accordingly does not condone student cheating or plagiarism as defined in the "Academic Dishonesty" sections of the UH Student Conduct Code and the Leeward CC Catalogue. By submitting any writing to OWAP, students agree and consent to the submission of such writing to online and electronic anti-plagiarism devices, including, without limitation, Turnitin, a plagiarism prevention program. Any writing which is submitted to Turnitin is automatically filed in Turnitin's database of source materials to detect plagiarism in current and future student work.
Feedback: If you have used our OWAP services, we welcome your feedback.

If you have any questions regarding OWAP or the writing consultants or the services that they provide, please contact Laurie Kuribayashi at 455-0414 or Beth Kupper-Herr at 455-0413.
