Writing and Research Help services are open to all undergraduate students registered at St. Michael’s College and to all students taking a course in one of the St. Michael’s College sponsored undergraduate programs (SMC Ones, Celtic Studies, Medieval Studies, Book & Media Studies, Christianity and Culture) as well as students in the Regis St. Michael’s Faculty of Theology.
