As instruction at IUP transitions online, the Jones White Writing Center is here to support the IUP community. As of Monday, March 23, all writing center tutorials will be conducted online by appointment in 45-minute sessions.
Students can choose from two types of online session:
Online, or synchronous tutoring. This is a live, face-to-face session with a tutor utilizing audio and video chat. This type of online tutoring requires you to log in to WCOnline at the time of your appointment and join the meeting with your tutor by clicking on your appointment in the schedule.
eTutoring, or asynchronous tutoring. This is a form of online tutoring which occurs without direct contact with your tutor. eTutoring sessions require you to log in to WCOnline before the start of your appointment time and upload your document. You can upload by clicking on your appointment in the schedule and selecting to edit. You are also able to upload your document at the time you make your appointment if you are finished working on it. eTutoring is offered this semester as a way for students without high-speed internet access to still have writing support. We recommend that all students use our Online Tutoring option if they are able to do so.
Appointments must be scheduled 24 hours in advance. All appointments will be scheduled and conducted through WCOnline, which can be accessed directly via or on the Jones White Writing Center website, where there are instructions for scheduling an appointment.
Appointments will be offered at the following times:
- Sundays: 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
- Monday through Thursdays: 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
- Fridays: 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
