Instructions for Scheduling Online

NOTE: You need to disable your pop-up blocker or allow pop-ups from usm.mywconline.com for the appointment windows and online tutoring module to function properly.

STEP 1:  LOG IN OR CREATE AN ACCOUNT

 

• Visit usm.mywconline.com. 
• Under "Available Schedules," select the Writing Center.
• Sign in using wStudentID#@usm.edu and your Campus ID (SOAR) password. 
  If you don't already have a WC Online account, you will be directed to a registration form which you must complete before you are able to view the schedule and make appointments.

 

STEP 2: CHOOSE DATE, TIME, AND FORMAT

 

• Choose a date and time by clicking on a white (available) appointment slot.
• Complete the appointment form and select "Create Appointment.”
• Both face-to-face and online appointments are available. If you wish to make an online appointment, you must choose "Yes" to the "Meet Online?" question on the form.
• See instructions below for e-tutoring if you would like to upload your paper and receive comments by email.

 

STEP 3: COME TO YOUR SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT!

 

IN-PERSON

Simply come to the Writing Center on the day and time of your appointment and check in at the front desk.

ONLINE

• On the day and time of your appointment, sign in to usm.mywconline.com.
• Scroll to the day and time you reserved to find your appointment on the scheduler. 
• Click on the appointment box to open the appointment form, then click the red "Start or Join Online Consultation" link. This link will open a Zoom meeting with your tutor.

E-Tutoring

• Sign and in and make a new appointment using the E-Tutoring option on the appointment form.
• Upload the document you wish to receive feedback on using the “File Attachments” tool near the bottom of the form. A file attachment is required in order to save your appointment.
• Writing Center staff will review your document at the scheduled appointment time and send you feedback shortly after.
• You will receive an email notification when the response is available. Due to time constraints, we are only available to review one document per appointment.
•  Writing Center staff can only review your document for the time allotted for the appointment. For example, if you schedule a 30-minute appointment for a twenty-page document, the tutor may only be able to provide feedback on ten pages.
• If a tutor is not able to provide feedback on the entirety of your document, please schedule another appointment.
