- OSU Writing Project Policies for Families
- Parents/Guardians should understand that their child is participating in the workshop as part of a collaborative experience with other writers. Therefore, attendance is critical for both your child’s support and our OSU facilitators.
- Students who miss more than two sessions will be dropped from the workshop for the summer and the registration fee will not be refunded.
- You will need strong, hi-speed internet, a desktop, laptop, or tablet for your child’s participation. The writing session will last for up to 90 minutes with short breaks, so snacks are welcome, too.
- Parents/Guardians need to find a distraction-free space for virtual writing, as well as basic school supplies, such as a notebook and pencil.
