- All submissions to the OWL must be made using Kirtland’s SparkyMail. If you are unsure of how to use your Kirtland WebStudy account, contact KCC eservices at (989) 275-5000, ext. 499 or email eservices@kirtland.edu.
- If you have questions or concerns about an entire document and are using Microsoft Word, submit your complete document to the drop box (see the FAQ for more information). If you are using Word Perfect or Microsoft Works, you must save your document as Rich Text Format (.rtf) and then drop them in the current semester drop box. For instructions on how to save documents as .rtf files, please click here: Wordperfect -> RTF Works -> RTF

If you have a question about a brief section of your paper, copy and paste it directly into the message of your SparkyMail. The OWL can be accessed by emailing owl@kirtland.edu
Sparky's Tip!We highly recommend utilizing our drop-in Writing Center in INS Room 17.
- In the text of your drop, specifically state your questions or concerns, or those aspects of your paper to which you wish the tutors to respond. Do not simply send your paper without questions/concerns stated in your email and expect the OWL tutors to “fix it”; the OWL is not an editing service and all such submissions will be returned unread. We are here to help you become a better writer and the more exact you are about the kind of assistance you need, the better the help will be. See the FAQ about what is and what is not provided by the OWL.
- OWL submissions without sufficient assignment information will be returned unread and a request will be made for more information regarding the assignment; it is impossible for us to offer you accurate feedback if we do not know what you are supposed to be writing. If you have an electronic copy of your assignment, please attach that along with your work; if not, you must explain the assignment fully in the drop box message, and include the class and instructor’s name.
The OWL is an online service and as such, please allow 24-48 hours for a response. We can be reached at owl@kirtland.edu
For any questions about this site, please contact Tutoring at: tutoring@kirtland.edu.
