Guidance on Scheduling an Appointment
Steps to create an account
- Go to Mywconline.com to create an account.
- Click on Register for an Account.
Your WCOnline account is separate from your Cardinal Apps account. You only need to create an account once. All writing consultations must be scheduled through the WCOnline platform.
How to reserve a time
Once you have an account, you will enter your email and password. Right below these fields you will see available schedules. Click on the schedule you would like to view.
After you log in, a schedule will appear. To make an appointment, click on a white square and then fill out the appointment form.
To modify, cancel or upload a file to an existing appointment, click on your reserved appointment time and choose 'edit appointment.'
How to attend your online consultation
On the day of your appointment, log into your WCOnline account at least five minutes before your scheduled time to upload any documents. When you are ready, click on the "Start or Join Online Consultation."
Once you join the online consultation, you will see a screen with instructions to orient yourself with the features.
After your session, you will be able to save your whiteboard by choosing the "Import/Export" button, or the double arrows on the top right hand corner, and selecting the file type.
