Graduate Writing Center Appointments

WCONLINE Appointment System

The GWC has a new appointment system: WCONLINE. To book appointments, you'll need to create your WCONLINE account first. WCONLINE Registration Guide.

Appointment Updates & Policies

We meet with graduate students by appointment only. Please review the information below and our full Policies and Terms of Service before booking an appointment. After booking, you will receive a confirmation email with information, plus appointment reminders via email (and text message, if you've opted in for texts). Visit our What to Expect & How to Prepare page for tips on how to get the most from your session!

Appointment Lengths

All appointments are currently 45 minutes, but appointment slots in WCONLINE appear as 1-hour blocks. By booking an appointment, you reserve the 1-hour block in which your 45-minute appointment will occur. We recommend booking a single 45-minute appointment for shorter papers (1-5 pages) or for feedback on up to 5 pages of a longer paper.

For more tutoring time, you can try booking two back-to-back appointments. By booking back-to-back appointments, you reserve the 2-hour block in which your 90-minute appointment will occur. We recommend booking two back-to-back appointments for longer papers (5+ pages) or for feedback on larger portions of a longer paper.

Appointment Limits

• You may book appointments from 1 hour to 21 days in advance. You may edit, update, or cancel appointments up to 2 hours prior to your appointment time. 
• You may book up to 1.5 hours of tutoring time per week: either two (2) 45-minute appointments for a single day or for the whole week.
• If you miss four appointments, you will be blocked from making appointments for the remainder of the semester.
• For Written Feedback appointments, you must share your paper with us within 10 minutes of the scheduled start time; otherwise, your appointment will be marked as "missed," and you will need to reschedule. You can upload a paper to your appointment in WCONLINE up to 2 hours before your appointment time or email/share it with us at graduatewritingcenter@suu.edu within 10 minutes of your scheduled time.

Appointment Types

Zoom Appointments

Meet with us live over Zoom for the most interactive, collaborative tutoring session! You can select the Zoom Appointment option on the booking form in WCONLINE. See the booking form and your appointment confirmation email for details on how to join your Zoom appointment. We ask that you be present for the full session, and we encourage you to turn on your webcam and microphone for a better experience.

Written Feedback Appointments

Can't meet with us over Zoom? You can book a Written Feedback appointment to receive feedback without having to meet with us live online. The consultant will make comments on your paper, focusing their feedback on the area you identified on the booking form. You can expect to receive our feedback within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment. (Wait time may be longer if we're experiencing technical difficulties.)  You can select the Written Feedback option on the booking form in WCONLINE. See the booking form and your appointment confirmation email for details on how to upload and/or share your paper with us.
