Meet Our Instructors

Our services are available to registered undergraduate or graduate students (with a valid UTOR/ID) in one of the following University of Toronto Faculties: Dalla Lana School of Public Health (PhD students only), Nursing, Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kinesiology & Physical Education, Social Work, and Medicine (through OLA).
Students are limited to one appointment per week and ten appointments per term during the regular school year (Sept-April). Students may hold up to three appointments at any one time. This ensures that all students have access to appointments during busy times. Sometimes additional appointments can be arranged, if the schedule allows. Email us to request such appointments.
If you do not show up to your appointment, you can lose scheduling privileges (see below).
Log into the WCONLINE system, where you can create a profile and then select available appointments in the schedule. We offer a variety of appointments, including in person and virtual (both synchronous and asynchronous). Learn more
Log into the WCONLINE system approximately five to ten minutes before the start of your appointment. Open your appointment and click "Start or Join Online Consultation.”
If you are encountering technical difficulties, please email your advisor directly. Please email us if these issues persist.
Don’t just skip it! You must cancel or reschedule your appointment 24 hours in advance. Cancelling early enables other students to book this opening. If you don’t show up, you will be marked as a no-show.
If you miss an appointment, your account will be locked and you will be prevented from booking any other appointments that term. Appointment privileges may be reinstated at the discretion of the Writing Centre Director; email us with such requests.
Please upload:
1. A copy of your assignment guidelines
2. A copy of your paper, draft, notes, etc.
DO NOT upload PDF files because we cannot make notes on them for you. Send regular document files of any drafts, notes, etc.
No, we will neither proofread nor rewrite your work. We will, however, identify problems and show you how to correct them. We will also help you write more effectively. Our goal is to develop your writing skills, not proofread for you.
