Appointments

Book an appointment to work through any part of an assignment, report, presentation, or writing project. We have experts in digital writing, technical writing, and writing for all disciplines.

Undergrads, grads, feeling stuck? We can help with brainstorming, planning, writing, and revising.

Book an appointment

Appointments are booked through our online scheduling system, WCONLINE. Plan ahead by booking your appointment today. You can book up to 4 weeks ahead.

Are you working on a group project? Group appointments are available. Just let us know that you and your group members are coming so that we book a space to accommodate everyone.

Are you working on a longer writing task like an honour’s thesis? Perhaps you would benefit from a recurring appointment over several weeks. Book a regular appointment to start, and then talk to the Writing and Communication Centre instructor about options for pre-booking.

What should you know/bring?

Appointments are 50-minutes long and are limited to one per day and two per week.

Because it is difficult to work from a screen, please bring printed copies of any notes or writing you’ve started. We cannot print pages here. We also cannot review your work outside of appointment times, so please do not email any material to your instructor.

Instructors will work with you on developing your skills for the long term. We don't correct or change your work for you, but we can teach you the tools to revise and edit on your own.

Finding an appointment

Appointments can be booked up to 4 weeks ahead. Navigate the calendar by clicking on the week arrows (PREV WEEK or NEXT WEEK) or clicking on the calendar icon. Click on a white rectangle to book that appointment time.

If you cannot find an appointment, add yourself to the waiting list on WCONLINE calendar. In the meantime, come to a drop-in location.

Change or cancel your appointment

If you need to change or cancel your appointment, you must make the change or cancelation on WCONLINE three hours before the appointment.

Our system automatically sends reminder emails to you one or two days ahead of the appointment. If you need to change or cancel your appointment, you must make the change or cancelation on WCONLINE. Please do so at least three hours before the appointment or it will be considered a missed appointment. After three missed appointments, you will be locked out of the booking system.

Please arrive on time as we will give the appointment to another student after ten minutes. If you are running late, just call the front desk at 519-888-4567 ext.84410 to let us know.
