The Grad & UG Writing Support: SU26 schedule provides support for all students and all writing situations. This schedule is open until Tuesday, August 11.


You can begin booking online or in-person appointments for Fall 2026 beginning Monday, August 11th.  You can book appointments up to 7 days in advance.

Appointments are available in the following schedules:

  • Undergraduate Writing Support
  • Graduate Student Writing Support
  • Application Materials Support - help with CVs, resumes, cover letters, personal statements (and other application materials)
  • Veterans Writing Support (only for veteran or active military service students) 

If English is an additional language for you, select the "Undergraduate Writing Support" or the "Graduate Writing Support" schedule, depending on your classification. Locate 'Display Options' above the calendar to access the "Show All 'Writing Consultant Specialty' Options." Using that drop-down menu, select "EAL" to show the EAL (English as an additional language) specialist consultants.


Note: If all appointments are currently booked, use the "Waiting List" feature (bottom right of each day's appointment listings) to be notified of openings created by cancelations. If you get a notification of an opening, you must log in to WC Online to make your appointment. 

  • If you book an appointment, please make sure to attend. Not showing up prevents another student from getting help at the time you booked but didn't use. Set an alert for your appointment and show up! Cancel in advance if you can't make it to open up that time for another student. Times are very limited, and many people want help. Please be a good citizen and help your fellow students out by showing up!
