Make an appointment

The writing center is open for appointments! You can visit our booking site to make an appointment. If you are new to this booking site, you will need to register to make appointments. This login is different from your other CUNY-related logins, but please use your City Tech email. For directions on how to register, please see the images below. Our appointments will last for 45 minutes even though the booking is for one hour—this gives tutors a bit of time to do paperwork and prepare for the next writer. 

With our booking site called WC Online, you have the ability to upload your draft or your assignment prompt ahead of time. You can also modify or cancel your appointment as needed. You can make appointments to meet with us online or in-person, so pay attention to the modality of your booking. Make sure you can check your email before your online appointments, because your tutor may send a link you can use to join in the session if you are meeting virtually.

If you want to learn more about our tutors, please visit our Meet the Team page. If you have any questions, please reach out via email to WritingCenter@citytech.cuny.edu. 

We can’t wait to work with you on your drafts!

  2. Once you select an appointment time, you will be prompted to create a new appointment. You will need to select the modality of the appointment, either online or in person. And you will need to fill out some information about what you would like to work on during your appointment.
  3. You can attach an assignment or a draft to your appointment. 
  4. Click Create Appointment and close the window when you’re done. You will receive an email confirmation.
