WRIT Center
(Writing, Reading & Information Technology)
The Main Campus WRIT Center
NEWS: WRIT Center hours will be reduced starting Monday, January 30. Our new hours will be MTWTh 9 am - 6 pm; closed Fri Sat and Sun.
We regret any inconvenience this change may cause, but are ready to serve your writing and reading assistance needs when we are open and via online submission.
The WRIT Center is at the back of the LLIC, near A-125; you will find welcoming faces, comfy chairs, and computers. Whether you need help brainstorming a topic, revising a cover letter for a job application, or just need one final pair of eyes to look over a piece you've written, the Writing Center can help. Students, faculty, and staff are welcome, so come early and stay late, and don't forget to bring a snack if you are hungry. See you there...

NEW Virtual WRIT Center
Use our NEW Online Submission site to send you papers to the WRIT Center for review! It's very similar to our old form but with a new look! For some instructions on how to submit your work, download this document.
Because Delta College is more than one building in University Center and because our students are more than just students, often holding down a full-time job and/or raising a family, we have a Virtual Writing Center to offer advice and assistance anywhere/anytime. All you need to do is answer a few questions and upload your paper and you'll receive thoughtful feedback within 48 hours (Monday - Friday). For those looking for access to handouts, how-to articles, and example papers, see our Virtual Handbook for Students.
Reading Assistance at the WRIT Center
Are you struggling with your textbooks? The WRIT Center offers reading support with a variety of new materials and handouts aimed specifically at helping students with textbook reading.
WRIT reading assistance reflects the four key areas of college reading: reading strategies, vocabulary, study skills, and content analysis. Through an entrance inventory, consultants will determine which area will be the most beneficial for an incoming student.
- Reading strategies: Consultants will work with students to develop interaction with text.
- Vocabulary strategies:These are broken down into in-context vocabulary skills and vocabulary storage.
- Study skills:These are the skills that students need to be able to store and retain information for quizzes, tests, exams, certification, careers, or life after class.
- Content Analysis:Content analysis assistance helps a student to process, analyze, and evaluate a text, as well as determine its application.
IT Assistance
You've been assigned to create blogs, digital stories, and audio essays. What? How? The WRIT Center can assist students with
- access to a scanner, a digital recorder, and software to complete multimedia essays.
- technical advice on using social media sites, such as blogger.com and twitter.com
- understanding the rhetorical situation (audience, purpose, genre, stance, medium)
- being an audience for students to test-run ideas
- developing thoughtful, well-organized, and engaging texts
WRIT Services for Faculty
Because we work in a wonderful community of educators, we can all benefit from each other's knowledge. The Virtual Writing Center is designed to be more than a reference and feedback tool for students; it is also designed to be a resource for instructors. In the Virtual Handbook for Instructors, you will find favorite faculty handouts, assignments, readings, and tutorials.
