Finding an appointment
Appointments can be booked up to 4 weeks ahead through WCONLINE. Navigate the calendar by clicking on the navigation arrows (PREV WEEK or NEXT WEEK) or find your preferred date by clicking on the calendar icon. Click on a white rectangle to book that appointment time.
If no appointment is available, click the WAITING LIST link under a date to add yourself to the waiting list for that date.
How to change or cancel your appointment
WCONLINE automatically sends reminder emails to you one or two days ahead of the appointment. If you need to change or cancel an appointment, please give a minimum three hours of notice. If you need a last-minute cancellation or are cancelling an evening or weekend appointment, please email wcc@uwaterloo.ca.
How to attend an online appointment

Firefox and Chrome browsers work best for online appointments on the WCONLINE system. Be sure that you have the latest version of your browser installed. The online appointment system will not work on a tablet or smart phone. If you do not have access to a computer, please email the instructor to make other technology arrangements.
