How to use this calendar
Available appointments are shown as white blocks; your appointments are shown as blue blocks. All other blocks are unavailable. Use the Display Options filters below to quickly find the advisor (name, grad, or undergrad) you're looking for. For more detailed instructions for booking appointments, please visit the appointments page on our website.
Who should you book with
Appointments labelled (appointments for graduate students) are for Master's and PhD students and Postdocs only, and those labelled (appointments for undergraduate students) are for undergraduate students only. Appointments are 25 or 50 minutes long (not 30 or 60), and are listed in Eastern Standard Time (EST). To learn more about our appointments, please read our appointment policies page. For more information about the WCC Team, visit our Advisor bios and our Peer tutor bios.
How email appointments work
Email appointments allow you to receive positive, constructive, and actionable feedback on your written work asynchronously. Submit your draft-in-progress and information about the kinds of feedback you are looking for, and you will receive a written feedback letter responding to at least two pages of your draft by the end of the day of your appointment. This feedback is written just for you, based on the concerns you identify, and it is designed to guide your independent revision process.
How do I prepare for an appointment?
Fill in the details in the booking form: Complete the email appointment form with as much detail as possible to tell your Advisor about your writing concerns and goals. This form acts as a communication line between you and WCC staff, so the more information you provide the more specific your Advisor’s feedback can be. An Advisor may email you before or during the appointment if they require additional information or are having technical difficulties with your files.
Upload your files: You must upload any documents, share any links, and complete the feedback form at least 3 hours before the appointment. If you miss this time frame, there is no need to panic, simply email your documents and concerns to your advisor by looking them up in the WCC staff directory. If you need to attach your document links later, you can do so by following these instructions:
- Log back into WCOnline at any time before your appointment is set to begin. Note that you will not be able to attach documents once the appointment has begun.
- Click on your appointment (it should be a blue rectangle). A pop-up window will open.
- In the pop-up window, scroll to the bottom and select "Attach file," then follow the instructions to upload your files to the appointment.
- Click "Close" on the appointment form when you have finished attaching your documents.
