Consultation Policy

As of Fall 2025

SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT
 
One appointment per day, with a maximum of one in-person OR online appointment per week. If more than one appointment is made per week, the second appointment will be cancelled.
 
Currently matriculated degree-granting TC students from any department/program can schedule consultations. We reserve the right to cancel any appointment made by alumni or non-matriculated students.
 
Appointments can be scheduled up to two weeks in advance, and are made on a first-come, first-served basis.  Online bookings are the preferred method of making an appointment.  Students can also email us at success@tc.columbia.edu.  Appointment availability may vary during peak periods. 
 
Appointments should be made at least 48 hours in advance, when possible.
 
Students must complete an appointment form to confirm their appointment with a Success Fellow.
 
Students may bring their laptops to the consultation or bring a printed copy of their work.  We do not have printing services available.
 
A consultation appointment can be 30 or 50 minutes. Each appointment consists of a 5 minute summary at the end.  For writing sessions, please plan on working on one text (no more than 5-10 pages) per session.   
 
Kindly return anonymous post-session evaluation forms.

 

LATE ARRIVALS AND CANCELLATIONS 

Students must arrive on time. If a student is more than 10 minutes late it will be considered a missed appointmentIf a student contacts the Success Team to notify us that you are running late, we will hold your appointment for up to 15 minutes.

Cancellation Policy: Students may login in or email to cancel their appointment. Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance. If a student has not canceled the appointment within this time frame, it will be considered a missed appointment. 

Students who miss two appointments in a semester without 24-hour advance notice will no longer be able to reserve sessions in advance for the duration of that term
