Important notice
As of November 9, 2022, masks are required for indoor academic activity at UWaterloo. WCC staff will be wearing masks for in-person appointments and programs, and we ask that students also wear a tight-fitting, multi-layer mask. A mask can be provided to any student who needs one at the time of their appointment. Masks are also available across campus, including in the Student Life Centre. The Writing and Communication Centre is pleased to offer both virtual and in-person appointments and programs this term.
