General Office Rules

  1. Due to scheduling availability, Advisors are unable to "squeeze students in" between their appointments or allow for same-day appointments. No exceptions.
  2. Due to the volume of requests, emailing individual advisors may not be the fastest way to ensure that more time-sensitive needs are met. Please read our "How to Visit" section for the best ways to connect with our team.
  3. Please treat all workers with respect. We hold the discretion to stop service or start a removal if a parent or student is overtly rude to anyone in the office.
