Help with Writing
The online Writing Center will open for Fall 1 on Thursday, September 19, 2024
for in-person and online tutoring in B200
Monday - Friday: 9:15 AM - 3:15 PM and 4:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Appointments can be made using the Navigate portal but every period a limited number of sessions will also be available on a walk-in basis. Students need only arrive at the Writing Center, in sunny B200, before the beginning of any class period that we?re open and sign in. If a student cannot be given a session when they walk in, they will be given an appointment for the next available period.
Making an appointment:
When appointments for a particular period are filled, a Wait List appears. Students may sign up to be on the Wait List, and 10 minutes after the beginning of a period, if students with actual appointments have not checked in, their appointments will be given to students on the Wait List.
NOTE: All students with virtual appointments, whether regular or Wait List, must check in 15 minutes before the session time at WCLab@lagcc.cuny.edu. If they do not, they will not be connected to a tutor.
Students with in-person appointments (actual or wait-list) must arrive in B200 on time, before the period begins; 10 minutes into the period, the appointment will be given to a wait-list student or a student waiting in the Writing Center.
If students find that appointments of one type are filled, instead of choosing to be on the Wait List, they may also check to see if there are openings in the other setting?virtual instead of in-person, or vice-versa.
