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.

Grad Student Writing Retreats
Writing retreats are series of sessions that combine group workshops, individualized writing support, and dedicated time for making progress on long and/or complex writing projects. In each session, graduate students will interact with an encouraging community of writers from across the disciplines; learn strategies for developing productive and sustainable writing practices; overcome writer’s block; and make meaningful progress on writing projects such as seminar papers, research proposals, conference presentations, journal articles, theses, dissertations, and job application materials.
All retreats will take place over Zoom during Spring 2023.
