- Rescheduling, cancellations and missed appointments: If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please do so by going into your calendar and following the links to either cancel or reschedule. If you miss three appointments without giving your advisor prior notice, you'll no longer have access to the Acuity scheduling system. You'll need to request an appointment by emailing your advisor, who will determine availability based on their schedule.
- Please do not book more than one time slot for your appointment, which limits availability for other clients. "Holding" multiple time slots may result in your appointment being canceled or your email being blocked from the Acuity Scheduling system.
- Reprogramación, cancelaciones y citas perdidas: Si necesita reprogramar o cancelar su cita, hágalo ingresando a su calendario y siguiendo los enlaces para cancelar o reprogramar. Si falta a tres citas sin avisar previamente a su asesor, ya no tendrá acceso al sistema de programación Acuity. Deberá solicitar una cita enviando un correo electrónico a su asesor, quien determinará la disponibilidad según su horario.
- Por favor no reserve más de un horario para su cita, ya que limita la disponibilidad para otros clientes. "Reservar" múltiples horarios puede resultar en la cancelación de su cita o el bloqueo de su correo electrónico en el sistema de programación Acuity.
