 ****NOTE - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING WRSA POLICIES—NON-COMPLIANCE MIGHT DISABLE YOUR ACCOUNT AND BLOCK YOU FROM THE SYSTEM****

Writing, Reading, Speech Assistance provides academic support to all College of DuPage students. Services are available to currently-enrolled students or students preparing for placement tests. Appointments scheduled for students not enrolled for the current semester are subject to cancellation. 

____________________________________________________________

 Appointments can be made up to two weeks in advance. If you have to miss an appointment, please cancel in advance by phone or online to open up the appointment for another client; otherwise, the appointment will be marked as missed. If you miss two appointments without cancelling in advance (“no call, no show”), your account will be disabled and you will need to meet with the WRSA Coordinator or Supervisor in order to reactivate your account for the semester.

____________________________________________________________

Students who are late, 10 minutes or more, for their appointments will forfeit their time to walk-in clients or clients on the waiting list. Appointments are marked as missed after 10 minutes. Please call if you know you will be late (630-942-3355).

____________________________________________________________

 If an appointment is not available at a desired time, students may sign up for the waiting list. If an appointment cancels or is marked as missed, clients on the waiting list will be notified via text or email that a time slot has opened up. The notified client must then log on to cod.mywconline.com and schedule the appointment. If the appointment slot is already filled, someone else also received the wait list message and has already scheduled an appointment. Appointments are scheduled on a first come, first served basis.

____________________________________________________________

Students may schedule up to 3 appointments of each type (writing, reading, speech) per week, but no more than a total of two appointments of different types per day, across all writing center locations. ELA students may schedule 3 ELA Support appointments per week. If a student does have two appointments of different types in one day, the appointments must be scheduled with different coaches. Students are limited to eight appointments to prepare for each ACCUPLACER or Kaplan Test of English placement test. Additionally, ELA students are limited to eight appointments to prepare for the Citizenship test. 

____________________________________________________________

Students that self-identify as being connected with Access & Accommodations are allowed 4 appointments of each type per week but no more than one type of appointment per day, across all writing center locations. After self-identifying, the student may be asked to show their letter from Access & Accommodations prior to scheduling appointments.

____________________________________________________________

Please note: If continuous disruptions occur in a student's home during online appointments, WRSA coaches may request to end the appointment early and encourage the student to reschedule for another time. Out of respect for the student's privacy and home life, as well as for other on-campus appointments taking place within hearing distance of the online appointment, WRSA coaches will apply their discretion if they feel that an online appointment cannot be completed to its fullest efficacy and scheduled length.

By meeting with a WRSA coach, you acknowledge that your work is your original thinking. If we are uncertain, we will explain what plagiarism is and provide resources to help you understand and learn how to avoid it. The WRSA Coordinator will be notified of this conversation.

 If the authenticity of your writing is questioned again after an initial plagiarism discussion, you agree to sit with a coach and complete the COD Library’s online plagiarism module to clarify confusion regarding citation practices and standards.

If plagiarism is suspected after completion of the Library’s online module, you will lose your WRSA privileges for the remainder of the semester and your instructor may be notified.
