Online Appointments

The Excel Multiliteracy Center offers online appointments, in addition to in-person appointments, through WCOnline, our scheduling platform.

Things You'll Need:

  1. A computer with a working camera and microphone.
  2. A quiet space.
  3. Reliable internet access.
  4. Optional: Headphones.

If these are not available to you, it might be better to schedule your appointment to be in person. 

We do not conduct appointments over the phone.

To Schedule an Online Appointment with a Consultant:

  1. Log into our scheduling platform. Visit WCOnline. If you don't already have an account, you will have to register for one.
  2. Schedule your appointment. Once you're in your account, click on a white box to schedule an appointment. Under the section titled "Meet Online?", make sure to select "Yes. Schedule Online appointment." If you do not see this option, try scheduling with a different consultant.
  3. Before the session begins, double check to make sure your camera and microphone are working.
  4. Start your online appointment at least five minutes early. This will give you time to copy and paste your project into the WCOnline whiteboard and check for any technical issues before the session begins.

Things to Note:

  • Please use either Chrome or Firefox as your browser. Otherwise, you may find it difficult to join the online session.
  • If your technology issues can't be solved in five to ten minutes, you may need to reschedule your appointment.
