To Reserve a WAC Conference:

When you find an Online Conference time that you want, click on the white box.  This opens up a field that includes the info for the conference.  At the bottom of the field, click on “CREATE APPOINTMENT.”   You will see the grid again, with the box that you clicked now in gold since that appointment is now yours.

Only the white colored boxes are available times.  Gold boxes are conferences you have already made and are scheduled for.  Blue/purple boxes are unavailable.

To Join your WAC Conference:

Click on the gold box that represents the day/time of your conference appointment (the one you scheduled for yourself earlier).

Click the “Start or Join Online Consultation” that appears on the pop-up window.  This will open a new chat room interface that you and your instructor will use to communicate during your WAC Online conference.  

To Cancel a WAC Conference:

Click on the gold rectangle that is marking the time/day of your appointment.  This will open up a field that includes the info about your conference.  At the bottom of the field, click on “CANCEL THIS APPOINTMENT.”  A message will appear to tell you that the conference appointment has been cancelled.  You will see that conference box on the schedule grid turn back to white which means you have cancelled it and it is now available for someone else to take.

Important Notes:

To attend a conference, you must reserve it at least one hour before the scheduled start time. For example, to participate in a 10am conference, you have until 9am ( 1 hour before) to reserve the spot.

WAC Online Conferences must be cancelled at least 1 hour in advance.
