Online Writing Lab (OWL)

The CCD OWL provides the same expert tutors and most of the same benefits as the Writing Center tutor sessions. The main difference is that Writing Center sessions are live, so you get immediate feedback on your writing, whereas

• the OWL gives you the luxury of submitting your paper from home or anywhere that has internet access, at any time of the day or night.
• you email your work to the tutor through the OWL website.
• a tutor will respond to your paper via email in no more than 48 hours.

Please note students can submit two (2) papers during a week, either the same papers or two different ones.

To enter the OWL system, you will need to login to with your CCD Student ID number (S#) and your Windows password in the following format:

• username: ccdinst\S1234567
• password: your CCD password
