Complete the Intake Survey

The first step to setting up your app is completing the intake survey. Tell us about yourself! Answers you provide are used to create tailored app content. You cannot access core platform features without completing the survey. After you’ve completed the survey, use the following pages in this guide to set up other features.

Make an Appointment
New appointment

To schedule appointments, click the purple Appointments icon on the left navigation menu and answer questions about your preferred service, date, time, and location.

Other Appointment Options

You can also view available drop in times or request appointment times for your preferred service.

Appointment Invitations

Your Success Team (e.g., assigned advisors, instructors) may also request you meet with them. When this happens, you receive an appointment invitation where you only need to choose a time that works for you!
