The CCRI Writing Center strives to enhance the writing and revision skills of its
community of writers by promoting such activities as interactive tutoring services,
collaboration among writers, classroom orientations, workshops, and the use of helpful
resources. With enhanced communication skills, writers will be more successful in
their courses and in their careers. All CCRI students, faculty, and staff are invited
to consult with staff members at any of the writing center locations.
Appointments are strongly recommended for writing center visits.
Each student can schedule up to four appointments every week. If an appointment needs
to be changed, the student should notify the writing center at least eight hours before
the appointment. Being on time for a writing center appointment is important; if someone
is more than ten minutes late for an appointment, the appointment slot might be given
to another student.
Walk-in Tutoring
Students who do not have appointments may come into one of the CCRI Writing Centers
and get immediate help if no other student is waiting. Students with appointments
will be served first.
Depending on the campus, the CCRI Writing Center may have computers available for
use by students who are getting help at the Writing Center or who are waiting for
consultation help. Because there are sometimes problems with computer or printer availability,
students are encouraged to bring printed versions of their papers to the writing center.
Computer and printing services are offered in the CCRI Computer Labs.
Cell phones should be turned off in the writing center. Important phone calls can
be answered in the corridor outside of the writing center.
All of the Community College of Rhode Island's policies, rules, and regulations will
be followed in the CCRI Writing Centers. Many of these policies are stated in the online version of the Student Handbook.
