The Counseling Office is currently reviewing schedules. As Ms. Weets and Ms. Streets review each individual schedule by hand, this process takes an extended period of time. An announcement will be sent out on Skyward, Social Media and email when schedules are finalized. Appointment times will be available for schedule changes beginning the second week of August. An announcement with a link to the calendar will be sent out for sign ups at that time.
