No Show Policy

Students are considered a No Show if they are 10 or more minutes late to their appointment. After that time, the appointment will be canceled and the student must wait two weeks before they can schedule another appointment with their advisor. During registration, students are considered a No Show if they are five or more minutes late to their appointment. After that time, the appointment will be canceled and the student will need to contact their advisor about how to proceed.

When students schedule an appointment, they are sent a confirmation through Calendly. Students should keep this confirmation and ensure that their appointment is in their calendar. If students are having connectivity issues, they should let their advisor know ASAP.
