Update: Writing Studio and Tutoring Services transition to single, shared WCOnline scheduling site
As announced in late April, the Writing Studio and Tutoring Services—two academic support programs run by the same office—are transitioning this summer to a single, combined WCOnline appointment scheduling site shared by both programs.
Earlier in May, before the Writing Studio opened for Maymester and both summer sessions, but on Thursday, May 29, we took our biggest and most visible steps toward both programs sharing one WCOnline site, ensuring we were ready for the start of Tutoring Services summer STEM tutoring on Tuesday, June 3.
The good news is what isn’t changing: Booking appointments with either Tutoring Services or the Writing Studio—both open this summer!—will remain as simple and easy as ever. Just follow the “Schedule an Appointment” links from each program’s respective homepage.
What changes can Writing Studio clients expect?
- A new “Welcome and schedule navigation” landing page: Starting on Thursday, May 29, after signing into our WCOnline site with VUnetID and password, clients will be brought to a new landing page from which they can navigate to either the current Tutoring Services or Writing Studio or schedule via the displayed links.
- Next System Email: Starting Friday, May 30, system emails from the new consolidated WCOnline site will come from “VU Writing Studio and Tutoring Services.” The “reply to” address for such emails will change to wsts.admin@vanderbilt.edu.
- Each program can still be most directly reached by emails to their respective inboxes:
- Updated system forms: Returning clients may notice updates to several essential forms within WCOnline in order to accommodate the needs of both programs. Updates to the Registration and “Create New Appointment” forms are complete, while some additional updates are forthcoming.
What changes can Tutoring Services clients expect?
- Starting Thursday, May 29, the Tutoring Services homepage’s “Schedule an Appointment” links have been updated to redirect to the VUnetID and password sign-in page for our newly consolidated WCOnline site.
- Likewise, starting today, when accessing our newly consolidated WCOnline site for the first time, returning Tutoring Services clients will need to create a new user profile. (Those with existing Writing Studio user profiles will simply be prompted to update their profiles.)
We look forward to continuing to serve you, and we appreciate your patience with this transition.
Should you encounter any technical difficulties or have any feedback for us about your experience with the newly consolidated WCOnline site for Writing Studio and Tutoring Services, please contact us to let us know.
