  • creating your account in the WCOnline scheduling system;
  • activating your account;
  • scheduling appointments;
  • looking up writing tutor bios;
  • canceling appointments;
  • requesting additional sessions (for AEC and graduate students); and

Prospective Students

If you choose to attend SJSU, we will support your writing through our tutoring services, workshops, and events. We offer in-person and online appointments, as well as drop-in style support.

Our team of writing tutors go through extensive training, which involves all aspects of writing, as well as supporting multilingual students. Many of them are also trained to work with graduate-level students.
