• All appointments are scheduled through our on-line appointment system, 水印.
• Appointments are scheduled at least twenty-four hours in advance. 你可以安排 up to two 40 minute sessions per week.
• Coaching is a limited resource. For this reason, although you have up to two sessions per week, we ask that you only schedule one session per day. 如果你安排更多 than one appointment with the same coach, we will automatically cancel one- most typically the later of the two, but depending on program needs, this is up to the discretion of the Academic 成功的教练 Coordinator
• Please keep track of your appointments. You are responsible for keeping the appointments 你让.
• If you cancel an appointment less than two hours ahead of time, or fail to show up, you will lose tutoring for two weeks. This happens after ONE no show appointment, 或者延迟取消. Your privileges will be restored two weeks from the date of your missed appointment. You can ask the Academic 成功的教练 Coordinator for the date you will be able to make appointments again.
• Please make every effort to limit your cancellations. Your tutor has made a commitment to be there for you, and the cancellation may occur too late to be filled by another 学生.
• If you must cancel an appointment, do so at least two hours ahead of the appointment time, preferably twenty-four. Ways to cancel your appointment:
  •  在线使用 水印
