Covid-19 Updates

All Writing Centre face-to-face appointments are now asynchronous, online appointments. Tutors are ready to help you and support your writing needs! Sign into your Writing Centre account to book your appointment today.

Here is a step-by-step guide to booking your online appointment and uploading your essay:
1. Login at: https://tru.mywconline.com and click on an available appointment (white box).
2. Fill in the necessary information in the drop-down menu about your program/course/course level/what you’d like to work on today/due date.
3. In the box that says, “Is there any other information you would like the tutor to know”, please include a detailed description of what you’d like help with, i.e., specific questions or concerns.
4. Next, click maximum of two files. Please upload 1) the assignment outline from your instructor, and 2) your draft. Click CHOOSE FILE, and click SAVE APPOINTMENT.
· Please note: The file with your writing must be in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx). Maximum file size: 1 MB.

Online appointments are asynchronous, which means the tutor will make embedded comments in your draft, and then re-upload your paper. When the tutor has reviewed your assignment, you will receive an email notification that it is ready for you to download.
