How to Access An Online Writing Center Session 

About 5 minutes before your appointment is scheduled, go to the WC calendar (where you first scheduled your session). Click on your appointment, and you’ll get a pop-up window. About halfway down that pop-up window, you’ll see “Click here to start or join a session”; click there. Another window will open, and that is where you’ll meet with your consultant; there is a chat window and a larger window where you can upload your paper for your consultant to review. You can go through those steps at any time in advance of your appointment if you’d like to just familiarize yourself with the environment. Your session will remain available until the end of the semester; you can go through the same steps at any time after your appointment to review your conversation and your consultant’s notes.
