In-Center Consultations

Our primary job is to meet individually with students to talk about writing. When you make an appointment for an in-center consultation, you get to meet with a trained peer consultant to talk about your writing. In order to accommodate the needs of all students, we offer both 30 minute and 60 minute appointment lengths. Sometimes, a session could involve decoding an assignment sheet and doing some initial planning for the paper; at other times, it can mean looking at a draft to discuss its strengths and weaknesses.

You can easily make and manage all your appointments here: https://uccs.mywconline.com/

Online Consultations

If you're not able to make it in for an in-center consultation, you can always schedule a session online through WCOnline. Check out our Online Services page for more information.
