Welcome to the Writing Center

Virtual Front Desk 

The Writing Center is now operating remotely due to COVID-19. While our physical center is closed, online tutoring and workshops are available by clicking on the appropriate links on this page. We will also host a “virtual front desk” to answer questions and help students sign up for services.

The Virtual Front Desk will be available via Zoom via computer or mobile device from 9am-12N & from 12:30pm-3pm, Monday through Thursday. To chat with one of our front desk staff, simply click on the Virtual Assistance button below or dial the toll-free number listed. Once you are connected, you will be placed in a virtual waiting room until one of our staff can speak or chat with you. Thank you for your patience.

If you want to contact us during hours when the virtual front desk is closed, please email us at writingcenter@mtsac.edu.
