Online Appointments

The UCCS Writing Center now offers real-time online appointments through WCOnline, our scheduling system.

Things You'll Need:

  1. Computer with a working camera and microphone
  2. A quiet space
  3. Reliable Internet access
  4. Headphones (optional)

If these are not available to you, it might be better to come to the Writing Center in person. We do not conduct appointments over the phone.

To Schedule an Online Appointment with a Consultant:

  1. Click on "Make an Appointment" button on our home page.

    Schedule your appointment like normal, but choose "yes" in the drop down menu that asks if you would like an online appointment.

  2. Before the session begins, double check to make sure your camera and microphone are functioning.
  3. Check in to your online appointment at least five minutes early.

    This will give you time to copy and paste your project into the WCOnline whiteboard, as well as check for any technical issues before the session begins.

Please use either Chrome or Firefox as your browser. Otherwise, you will be unable to join the online session.

If your technology issues can't be solved in 5-10 minutes, you may need to reschedule your appointment or come to the Writing Center in-person.
