Students are also free to schedule a 1:1 appointment with one of our undergraduate writing tutors for further assistance with their writing.

Undergrad Writing Consultations

Make an appointment with one of our 40+ undergraduate writing consultants!

Undergraduate students can make up to 3 writing consultation appointments per week. Appointments are 30 or 60 minutes. Students can choose a face to face appointment (in Geisel) or synchronous online appointment (i.e. live video). Consultants available 5 days per week. Same day appointments available!

We have an appointment no-show policy:

Your appointment will be marked as no-show 15 minutes after the start time. Missing three appointments during one academic year without prior cancellation will result in your WCOnline account being deactivated, preventing you from logging in. You will, at that point, need to contact the Writing Hub administrative team (writinghub@ucsd.edu) to re-establish your active account.

Keep in mind that you can always cancel or modify appointments ahead of time by logging into the scheduling system at https://ucsd.mywconline.com or by contacting the Front Desk via e-mail at tlcadmin@ucsd.edu or via phone at (858) 246-2110. Please take note that appointments can be canceled up to 30 minutes prior to the start of the appointment in order to avoid being marked as no-show.
