Book an Appointment
To book an appointment, you will need to set up your account using your @mytwu email address. If you experience problems signing up, see "Appointment Booking Help" below.
If you cannot attend your appointment, please login and click "Cancel" in advance. This is so important because it opens up the spot for someone else. Please also send a message to the person you had booked with.
If you do not cancel and you miss your appointment, after three missed appointments, your account will be deactivated. Your opportunity to book online will be suspended for the rest of the semester. You are welcome to come for a walk-in appointment (subject to availability). If you have a question about your account, email learningcommons@twu.ca and we will help you.
Appointment Help
The Learning Commons uses an appointment booking system to facilitate your appointments. This system will allow you to view all the schedules to make or cancel appointments, join the waitlist, and more. Our online sessions take place from right within this platform, so you will need to have the link handy to access your sessions. For help with navigating the booking system, please see the instructions below.

- Log in with your TWU Pass.
- Click on the "Log in to the Learning Commons appointment booking site" button.
