Scheduling Guidelines

  • Appointment times listed on Handshake are a reflection of each coaches availability.
  • Students should select times and dates that do not conflict with a class or other appointments.
  • Same day appointments are not available. Students can schedule an appointment 8 hours from the time they are scheduling, if one is available.

Please note that appointment times listed within Handshake are displayed in Eastern Standard Time (EST).

Appointment Expectations

Arrive on Time: Appointments are important to both students and coaches. In order to ensure that each student receives the right amount of time to be seen by our staff, it is very important that you keep your scheduled appointment with us and arrive on time. If your schedule changes, please notify our office to reschedule.

Cancellations: We request that you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment time. This gives us the opportunity to make your slot available to other students. You may cancel by phone or online in Handshake.
