Appointment Policies

Making Appointments

You are able to make one appointment per day and no more than two appointments per week.  

Cancelling Appointments in Advance

If you can't make your appointment, please cancel your appointment as soon as possible. Do so by logging into Navigate, selecting your appointment, and then deleting it. 

No-Shows

A "no-show" is when you do not cancel your appointment in advance and miss it. If you miss two appointments in any given term, you will be blocked from making additional appointments for the rest of that term.

Last-Minute Cancellations

A last-minute cancellation is when you cancel your appointment within twelve hours of your appointment. It will be counted as half of a no-show. Two last-minute cancellations count as one no-show.

Late Arrivals

If you are ten or more minutes late for your appointment, it will be offered to another student and counted as a no-show.
