How to Schedule an Academic Study Skills Appointment At the PLTC Using the FirstClass PLTC Conference Calendar

The ½ hour appointments are in the office by the windows in the PLTC (3rd floor of Clapp Library). They can be made starting on the hour or the half hour, not starting at the ¼ hour.
You may schedule a ½ hour appointment at this time:
Mondays between 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Wednesdays between 10:30 am - 1:00 pm
Thursdays between 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
(with the last appointments beginning at: Mon-3:30 pm, Wed-12:30 am, Thurs-12:30 pm)

If you have an urgent need for an appointment, and can’t find time within a two week period, please contact the PLTC at x2641.
Cancellations: PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE of other students waiting for appointments, and cancel at least 4 hours before an appointment so we have time to contact another student to fill that spot. You can cancel directly online or call the PLTC at X2641.

Follow these directions carefully:

1.) Double-click on the FirstClass PLTC Conference (Wellesley Conferences > Departments > Administrative > PLTC) then double click on the icon, PLTC Academic Skills Appointments.

2.) Double-click on the calendar icon - Academic Skills Appointments.

3.) Double-click in the blank space below the date you want. An appointment form similar to the one below will open.

4.) Complete the appointment form as follows:

a) Next to Event or Description: Enter your First and Last Name, your class year and campus phone extension.

b) Skip down to Starts at: Click on the arrow on the right of the bar. A calendar like the one below will pop up. Choose the date you want if it is different than the highlighted date (only Wednesdays). To select the start time, click in the time field under the calendar dates and type in the time you choose to start between 10:30 and 3:30. Click OK to close the small calendar.

c) If you'd like to receive an automatic email reminder before your appointment, next to "My reminders" click in the circle next to "Time before event", then on the right, scroll to the amount of time you want.

5.) Close the window to save your appointment on the calendar.

6.) After you have closed the window, your appointment will show up on the calendar. Please make sure you are scheduled for the correct date and time.

If you change your mind:

You can click on delete at the top of the form, or, when prompted, just not save it.

If you have already saved the appointment and want to delete it, select your appointment in the calendar and press the DELETE key,

You will not be able to accidentally delete someone else's appointment.

If there is a conflict:
If you have made an appointment during an unavailable time, you will receive an email from the Calendar saying there is a conflict. Please go back and delete your appointment, read the top part of these instructions to be sure you understand when appointments are available, and make another appointment. Call Barb Burck if you want help with this (x2641).

Who can open and read the appointments:
Only the PLTC can open your appointment form and read it after it has been saved. You will be able to open your appointment only from within your own personal calendar on your desktop.

Seeing the appointment on your own calendar:
The appointment will appear in your personal calendar on your own FirstClass desktop. To find out more about using your personal calendar, read the instructions here:
