Blue boxes indicate blackout time when consultants are not scheduled.White boxes denote available appointments.When a student schedules an appointment, that box will turn orange, and that time will no longer be available.

In-house appointments are available in ½ hour increments (1hour for VirtualMuse).A note about DropBox: DropBox blocks are not determined by time but by number of openings per day. If all slots for one day are filled, students must choose another day and upload their essay or switch to another schedule and make another type of appointment, in-house or VirtualMuse. Students who use DropBox must keep in mind that during high demand weeks consultants will implement a three day turnaround rule, first-come-first served.

Once students log in and choose the appropriate schedule/calendar, they must click on an open block (white blocks signify availability) on their preferred day and time:  In-house: up to 14 days

in advance, 2 half-hour appointments per week.
