Appointments for Academic Skills Centre now on Omnivox

April 6th, 2022

To make an appointment with an Academic Skills Centre professional, a peer tutor, or to register for a workshop, students will need to log into Omnivox and click on WCOnline under the Student Services menu on the left near the bottom of the menu.

Students will no longer have to remember a separate website address and password. We will continue to use the same scheduling system, so students should be familiar with it, but it is now integrated with Omnivox through single sign-on.

The separate scheduling access point that you may remember (dawsoncollege.mywconline.com) is no longer available for students. Even though we have contacted all our users, you may encounter students confused by the change, so we would appreciate if you could help them during this transition. ­
