Writing Center

The Writing Center is located in the Library in Scott Hall and the staff provides students with a friendly supportive team to help you succeed at college level writing. Our Writing Center tutors do not edit or proofread essays but instead focus on the ideas and content of essays. Appointments are encouraged, but drop-ins are welcome, provided staff are available.

Student instruction for setting up an appointment with the Writing Center:

  1. Visit the MGCC Writing Center Bookings Page.
  2. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from MGCC Writing Center confirming your appointment with either Sara or Eliana. Virtual appointment confirmation e-mails will contain a Zoom link.

Spring Hours of Operation

  • Monday, 8am-2pm
  • Tuesday, 8am-5pm
  • Wednesday, 10am-5pm
  • Thursday, 10am-2pm
  • Friday, 10am-3:30pm

The Writing Center staff also provides online support by appointment only for online, dual enrollment, and RRC students. More information can be found in the MGCC Writing Center Policies. If you have questions, please e-mail writingcenter@mgcc.edu or call (540) 863-2903.
