HOW TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT:

1. Register an email address and password to set up your account.

PLEASE NOTE: WCOnline is not a UNB system. Please avoid using any UNB information (email and password) when setting up your account.

The email and password you choose for this website is NOT linked to your UNB account. Changing your UNB password will not change your password for the Writing Centre.

You can update your profile in WCOnline at any time to change your email, password, or any other details.

2. LOG IN with your email and password and choose your schedule (the default schedule is the Writing Centre). Available appointment times are displayed in white. Click on the white box and your appointment screen will display. 

If the schedule is full, join the daily waiting list to receive an email notification if any appointment times become available.

 

Late and missed appointments policy:

If a student is 15 minutes late for their appointment, the appointment will be cancelled and logged as a No Show. 

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please do so well in advance so the time booked becomes available for other students. 

Students who regularly miss appointments (without cancelling them) risk losing their Writing Centre privileges.
