Writing Center

The Writing Center (located on the first floor of Clock Tower, Rooms 108 and 116) assists students with academic, business, and personal writing concerns. Our goal is to help students become more independent, confident, and articulate writers and members of the academic community. We can help you at any stage in your writing process.  Our staff is comprised of Rhetoric and Composition faculty and professional staff members who specialize in collaborating with students to construct, revise, and polish texts in different genres of academic and professional writing.  The center has two separate areas. CT 108 is a computer lab where students can use technology to work independently or semi-independently on assignments or meet in small study groups.2D and 3D artwork from DACC’s students is also on display on a rotating basis in our lab.CT 116 is the Writing Center office where students can work one-on-one with a staff member. We offer three types of conferences: face-to-face (in CT 116), asynchronous digital (eTutoring/online), and synchronous digital (Collaborative Conference/online). Students can set up their accounts with the Writing Center, schedule conferences, upload documents, and attend digital conferences on the DACC website at https://dacc.edu/writing-center.

The Writing Center opens the second week of each spring and fall semester and remains open until final exams begin.  If DACC classes are canceled, then the Writing Center will be closed. The Center is also closed during any school holidays and vacations where students are not required to attend classes. Students with questions should call 217-443-8877 for assistance.
