Fall 2024 WRITING WORKSHOP and MINOR IN WRITING SCHEDULE

August 26 - December 9 (Closed Sept. 2, Oct. 14-15 and Nov. 27-29)

Welcome, students!
The Sweetland Center for Writing’s online appointment booking platform, WCOnline, has moved to Single Sign-On!

What does this mean for you?

Signing into WCOnline will be easier and more secure! Students will not need to use a separate username and password for WCOnline anymore, as your account will be linked to your U-M credentials. No more remembering multiple passwords; just quick and easy access to your appointments with the same information you use for everything else at U-M!

How does it work?

To log into WCOnline, just enter your U-M credentials and complete the two-factor authentication (via Duo), and you’ll be taken directly to the appointment booking calendar. If you already have an account with WCOnline, you’ll be asked to update it with any recent changes. If you don’t have an account, you’ll be taken to our registration page first, and then you can make a consulting appointment right away.

Have questions?

If you're not sure how this will work for you, or if you have any questions about the shift to Single Sign-On, please reach out to us at sweetlandww@umich.edu, and we would be happy to chat with you about this exciting change!

Graduate Students
One 60-minute appointment per week or two 30-minute appointments per week. Maximum of 7 hours of appointments per full term.

Self Check-In - students will be utilizing self-check in when they arrive for an in-person appointment.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If you need to modify or cancel your appointment, please do so at least 60 minutes prior to your appointment time to make space for other students seeking appointments.

Arriving on time ensures that you and the consultant will have ample time to discuss your writing. If you are 10 or more minutes late, we cannot work with you effectively, and we will need to cancel your appointment. You are still welcome to use Sweetland’s walk-in services.

Undergraduates, if you are seeking assistance with cover letters, resumes, personal statements, application materials, or other non-course-related writing, please visit our Peer Writing Center. See our Undergraduate Writing Support page for full information.

Graduates, you may bring in course assignments, dissertation chapters, conference papers, articles, research proposals and fellowship statements. We cannot work on complete applications, cover letters or resumes. See our Graduate Writing Support page for full information.

Accommodations: please contact us if you need to request accommodations to have an effective WW consultation. It would help us greatly if you give us advance notice by emailing sweetlandww@umich.edu about any steps we could take to make this consultation fully accessible for you."

Please note that consultants may need to end online appointments 5 minutes prior to the half-hour or hour to prepare for the next online consultation. Thank you for understanding.

In the event you or the consultant lose power or internet connectivity during your online appointment, please attempt to reconnect to the appointment, as long as there is time remaining in your original appointment time slot. If reconnecting fails, your session will end at that time and you will be able to reschedule. Please email sweetlandww@umich.edu to notify Sweetland's Writing Workshop Coordinator that your appointment was disconnected prematurely due to power or internet connectivity issues and that you would like to schedule another appointment.

We look forward to meeting with you!
