If you can't find a time that works, your advisor might have a Walk-in time available, so click on the View Walk-in Times button in the yellow section of the screen. If it doesn't appear, then your advisor does not have a Walk-in time available. There are no Tutoring appointments loaded in to BoilerConnect.

BoilerConnect will send you a confirmation email or text confirming your appointment. It will also send you an Email reminder the morning of the appointment or a text Message reminder one hour prior to the appointment.
