Writing Center

To Access Online Tutoring

The Writing Center will be available for students this Spring semester from Monday, January 25th, to Saturday, May 8th. In-person tutoring is not currently available for Spring semester, but you still have access to Columbus State writing tutors. They are accessible through the Pisces platform of NetTutor, on a first-come-first-served basis. Sessions will be limited to one half hour unless you explain an accommodation at the beginning of the session.

Below are instructions on how to access the writing tutors and the schedule for when the Writing Center tutors will be on Pisces.

To meet with a Columbus State tutor:

1. Access NetTutor by clicking on the green "n" logo in the upper right-hand corner of any Blackboard course shell you have

2. Choose the “Pisces” box

3. Select "Writing and Paper Center”

4. Enter the "One-on-One Live Rooms" to see which Writing Center tutors are available

If a Columbus State tutor is not available, you may also choose to chat with a NetTutor tutor, to submit a quick question for them, or to submit a paper for full review later. To access them:

1. Access NetTutor by clicking on the green "n" logo in the upper right-hand corner of any Blackboard course shell you have

2. Choose the “NetTutor” box

3. Select “Writing and Paper Center”

4. Pick the appropriate box for how you want to interact with the tutor*

*Note: If you choose to upload your paper for review, you will be notified via email when your paper and review comments are ready to be picked up, typically within 48 hours.
