The Three Rivers Community College Writing Center offers a full array of services to support your writing efforts. Here is what we can do for you:

Walk-In help– Come by Room 106 on the Mohegan Campus during our open hours with your writing questions. If there is a tutor available, he or she can help you out right then and there.  Our latest hours are posted here.

Regular Appointments– If you would like to reserve a spot to review an upcoming paper or if you would like to set up a regular appointment every week, come to the reception desk, and we’ll do our best to get you the assistance you need, when you need it.  To set up an appointment, call the Writing Center front desk at (860) 892-5773 or send an e-mail to TRWritingCenter@trcc.commnet.edu

Writing Resources– Do you need to find out how to make a “works cited” page? Did you leave your English 112 textbook at home? Come in and take advantage of our handbooks, dictionaries, and other resources.  You can also link to a wide variety of writing resources from this page.  You can access Diana Hacker's A Writer's Reference used by the Three Rivers Community College English department.  If you need help with documentation, click on the link you would like to explore:  MLA, APA, CBE, or Chicago-style.  We also have a number of pages explaining grammar, giving tips on resumes and cover letters, explaining college admissions essays, and helping you start the research process.  You can also link to a variety of Internet search engines from this page.

E-mail Paper Submissions- Don’t make it to campus every day? Do you do most of your writing at 2 am? If you have a draft that you would like the Writing Center to review, you can submit it as a MS Word attachment or cut and paste it into a regular e-mail. Send it to:

TRWritingCenter@trcc.commnet.edu

Type “WC draft submission” in the topic line. In the body of the message, include your name and Banner ID number, a detailed description of the assignment, and your specific concerns about the paper. We can usually get a reply back to you within 24 hours! Before you submit a paper via e-mail, read this to see if an electronic submission is the best choice for you.  You can also print out a page of e-mail submission instructions for yourself or your class.

Classroom Presentations- Interested faculty and staff can contact the Writing Center Coordinator for assistance in developing course-specific writing assignments, customized in-class presentations, annotated bibliographies covering writing in various disciplines, and editing help with campus-related writing tasks.

TASC Referral- For all non-writing related tutoring, make-up tests, and other learning resources, you can access the Tutoring and Academic Success Center from this page as well.  You can also contact TASC by phone at (860) 892-5713.
