Online Appointments

The University Writing Commons uses WCONLINE to schedule appointments and host all of our one-on-one online tutoring sessions. You can easily schedule your next appointment with a Writing Assistant by following the steps on our WCONLINE user-instructions page.

You can also consult our WCONLINE Basics and Creation powerpoint for visual instructions on creating an account, and signing up for an appointment.

Modify or Cancel an Appointment

If you need to cancel an appointment, please give us a minimum of 12 hours notice, so we can offer walk-in or waiting list appointments. To cancel an in-person or online appointment, login to your WCONLINE account.

Locate your existing appointment specified by a yellow ‘My Appts.’ square on the schedule grid and click on it. Or, you can select the appointment from ‘My Appointments’ under the ‘Welcome’ menu on the upper left. This will allow you to modify or cancel your appointment.

You can also return to this page to upload documents to consult with your writing assistant, or add additional information to your appointment.
