Cancellations, Modifications, and Waiting Lists
To modify or cancel an existing appointment, click on the yellow block or select it from My Appointments under the Welcome menu. This is important because it opens up the spot for someone else. Please also send a message to the person you had booked with. If you do not cancel and you miss your appointment, after three missed appointments, your account will be de-activated and frozen for 7 days. After 7 days, you can request re-activation by emailing learningcommons@twu.ca.
To be placed on the waiting list, click on the WAITING LIST link that appears at the bottom right of each day on the schedule. You will be notified via email or text to alert you of openings throughout the whole day. ***However, you will only be alerted of available openings; you will still need to make an appointment.***
