If arriving more than 10-minutes late for a scheduled appointment, there is a strong likelihood that the appointment will be rescheduled for another day and time. A student who continuously arrives late to scheduled appointments may lose the privilege to schedule appointments in advance and will be required to meet with an advisor through the Walk-In assistance service.
