Student Appointments

Students regularly schedule advising appointments through CCNY Navigate.  Instructors can also give students the ability to schedule appointments through the platform. CCNY Navigate also allows instructors to memorialize these meetings through an appointment summary report that becomes a part of the student record. When students schedule appointments through CCNY 

Setting up student appointments is done by creating "availabilities" through the "Staff Home". If you choose to do use the appointment feature, it is recommended that you sync the calendar in the CCNY Navigate platform with your Outlook or Google calendar.
