The end of August and the first of September are exciting times. Football season has started, Fall is in the air, and students all across America are preparing to return to school. Everyone is feeling energetic and excited…everyone except the college and university staff members who are responsible for scheduling classes.

For them, the one or two-week period before school starts is full of unhappy students who just couldn’t make their class schedule work. These students have to trudge down to the administration offices and wait to see a scheduling counselor. And they wait. And they wait. Some of them may be upcoming seniors who just realized they somehow missed taking Probability and Statistics, and now those classes are full of incoming freshmen. Others are sophomores who waited a little bit too late to fix their course schedule, and now they are stuck with back-to-back Biology and Chemistry labs on Friday afternoon. Yuck.

Because the counselors are busy with students all day, they don’t have time to answer the phone to set appointments in order to meet with future students. They barely have time to eat lunch. And the students who have been waiting for hours in the hallway are no doubt wishing they had a more exciting afternoon planned.

So how great would it be if the students could easily pick a time to come see the counselor? And the counselor could schedule a 30-minute break to go check out the new football stadium? Great news – they can!

Software that is designed specifically for setting appointments online is becoming more and more prevalent, and it’s a perfect tool for colleges and universities.

This appointment software allows visitors to a website to set their own appointments directly from the college’s website.

So if a student needed to see a counselor about their class schedule, he would simply to the university’s website and click on the online appointment scheduler link. He could then pick what counselor he wanted to see, the date and time he wanted to see the counselor, and he’d have the option to give any pertinent information the counselor might want to know ahead of time, such as “If I don’t get into the Global Economics course I can’t graduate.”

This online booking software has a multitude of applications in the educational environment. Potential students could use it to set up a time to tour the campus. Existing students could use it to meet with their academic advisor.

The possibilities are endless, and the appointment software is easy to use and easy to integrate with any existing website.
