Whether on the job or in a classroom, writing skills are essential. Take advantage of the Writing Lab consultants through an online platform (UPSwing). Start with UPSwing by creating your account at the link provided. Proofreading, or basic editing, is provided by Grammarly.
Giving credit by citing information sources protects a writer from plagiarism. The presence of citations informs readers where additional information can be found and lends credibility to your writing. In this course, you will create citations following APA 7 style.
Instructions for formatting your APA paper and creating citations are in the documents linked below. Please note that the 7th edition of APA was released in October 2019. Be sure you are consulting an updated source for correct information on APA 7.
1. Automatic Invitation.
Currently enrolled UP students will receive an automatic Invitation use Grammarly at the beginning of each semester. Invitations will be sent directly to your student email accounts. No more access codes or account requests are required. You must use your Lone Star College student email address i.e. [myLoneStar username]@my.lonestar.edu after accepting the invitation. Personal email addresses will not work for Premium accounts through Lone Star College-University Park.
2. Late Enrollment, Late Start.
For students who are late enrollments and/or have late start courses, the system will be updated periodically to account for this and send out account invitations throughout the semester. Please email uptutor@lonestar.edu or uplibrary-circ@lonestar.edu from your student email account (including your ID number) if you have not received one.
