Preparation, Appointments, and Cancellations

1. Making the Most of the Session: Bring any written instructions provided by your instructor for the assignment you will be working on. You should allow a minimum of 24 hours between the session and the assignment due date.
2. Scheduling Appointments: Most appointments are for 30 minutes. You cannot make appointments back to back. There is no limit per week or semester. 
3. Number of Sessions per day: You may schedule two back-to-back appointments per day. 
4. Late Arrivals: The consultant will allow a ten-minute grace period to show up for an appointment. After that, the appointment will be forfeited and marked as a no-show.
5. Cancellations: When an appointment cannot be kept, please call or email us promptly to cancel.
6. No-Show Policy: If you miss three scheduled appointments for any reason, your next appointment may not be confirmed until you contact the center coordinator. You still are welcome continue to use walk-in services when consultants are available.
