Scheduling an Appointment

The Writing Center uses WCOnline for their online scheduling appointment system. To make sure appointments are available for everyone, each person is limited to:

1 (one) appointment per day per location/service
2 (two) appointments per week per location/service
4 (four) total appointments per week across all locations/services

Note: Failure to show for an appointment after a five-minute grace period will result in the appointment's cancellation so that the consultant may assist other individuals.

iCal and WCOnline: please note that if you are using iCal, your appointment time will display as one hour later than your actual appointment. System emails and texts will display the correct appointment time. We apologize for this inconvenience.

For additional information, click on the 'Writing Center' tab on the left side of this course.
