The Writing and Communication Center is similar to a writing center, but in addition to helping students with essays, research papers, and other written work, we also provide feedback and guidance on individual and group presentations, poster design, slide decks, and anything else writing and communication oriented. Our trained consultants can help you with any project, assignment, or other task that relates to writing and communication. For example, many students come to the CommLab to revise their resumés or prepare for interviews.

We work with students during all stages of a project's development, from brainstorming at the beginning to refining at the end. It's never too soon to book an appointment with us. If you’re not sure how the Writing and Communication Center can help with a particular project, feel free to stop by or email us to discuss how we can support you.

Visit https://gatech.mywconline.com/ and log in using your GT username and password. Complete a short profile if it is your first time logging in or if it has been a while, and then you're ready to make an appointment!

You can always drop by our front desk or email us at wcc@gatech.edu and we can help you make an appointment.

If students need to cancel an appointment, they must do so in the scheduling system at least 30 minutes before their appointment is scheduled to start. If you need to cancel an appointment less 30 minutes in advance, please contact us by email at wcc@gatech.edu.

Absolutely! Most of the time, we will have an available consultant within the hour. However, because our staff work on set schedules, we recommend an appointment.

While we ask that you visit only once per day, you may book up to two appointments every six calendar days. If you need additional support, check with your consultant to see what other options may be available.

We recommend bringing any assignment sheets or instructions, a digital or printed copy of your assignment draft, and either a laptop or a pen and paper for taking notes. You are also welcome to use one of our computers during your session. For sessions that take place on by video, you can share your documents by uploading them to your appointment in the scheduling system, sharing a link in the chat, or sharing your screen. You must upload your document to the scheduling system for written feedback only appointments, preferably as a Microsoft Word document.

Sessions are 45 minutes each. If you feel that you will need multiple sessions, we recommend planning ahead to schedule those sessions on different days in advance of your project or assignment deadline. If you’d like to schedule a series of appointments with the same consultant, send us an email at wcc@gatech.edu or visit us in person.

Any member of the Georgia Tech community can schedule a consultation. Undergraduate students should use the "Undergraduate Tutoring Schedule" and all others should use the "Graduate/Postdoc/Staff/Faculty Consultation Schedule." Anyone is welcome to make an appointment during our evening hours (Monday through Thursday 5-8pm).

Some faculty members in the Writing and Communication Program also work in the Writing and Communication Center. You cannot reserve a consultation with your class instructor. Other consultants will be available for you. If you would like to meet with your instructor, you should speak with them about meeting during their office hours. We also do not allow consultants to work with students in their own classes.

No, the Writing and Communication Center is always free for members of the Georgia Tech community.

Yes! For group consultations, one member of the group should schedule the appointment in the scheduling system. Please include in your booking the total number of people who will attend the session so that we can ensure we have space available for the group. 

During the fall and spring semesters, we are open: 

• Monday through Friday 9am-5pm (in person and online) 

• Monday through Thursday 5pm-8pm (online only) 

We are closed for all student holidays (Labor Day, Fall Recess, Thanksgiving, etc.). We also have limited hours during the summer. 

If you arrive early for your appointment or are waiting for a consultant to become available, you are more than welcome to wait in the Writing and Communication Center. However, our space is limited and so we aren’t able to let students use the Center just to hang out, study, or socialize.

Yes, those spaces (rooms 441, 443, 448, and 450) are for your use but are restricted to work on public speaking projects online (presentation practice, recording podcasts, doing mock interviews, etc.). During the business hours, you can reserve those rooms for up to 2 hours per day by contacting us by visiting the Center or emailing us at wcc@gatech.edu. During the Center's business hours, these rooms cannot be used for individual work or studying. Outside of our hours, these rooms can be reserved by students through the GT Library.
