How to Schedule Appointments within the Student App

After clicking "Appointments" in the left column, the "Schedule an Appointment" button appears and then the step-by-step instructions as seen below will walk you through the steps. Note: "Service Categories" are not used, so you do not have to make that selection when scheduling appointments.

Scheduling with Navigate Student App

To schedule a new appointment, the student clicks 'Schedule an Appointment' and are prompted to make choices for the type of support they are looking for. They will click through and make the following choices: 

1. Select a Care Unit
2. Select a Service Category
3. Select a Service
4. Select a Location
5. Select a specific staff member or 'Any Staff member'
6. Choose a date and time from a list of availability. From this screen, students will also have the option to view drop-in times or send appointment requests.

Please note that the Care Units, Service Categories, Services and Locations that display are all dependent on the configuration of the Navigate Staff platform and on staff members having active availability for the selected services. 

After making all their selections, the student will see a confirmation page with the details of their appointment. They have the option to use the 'Comments' box to leave a note for the staff member about what they are hoping to discuss in the appointment. The student will also have two options for receiving a reminder about the appointment; they can opt in or out of receiving an email and/or text message about the appointment. Lastly, the student clicks 'Confirm Appointment.'
