There are several different ways to view appointments (both open and reserved) in Achieve and your Outlook calendar.

Before You Begin

Achieve is a web-based application that allows you to sync appointments with your Outlook calendar.

Access to Achieve is required before you can schedule appointments. For more information, see Achieve.

Appointments By Staff 

Use the Appointments By Day tab to view all time slots that are reserved and unreserved during one week.

Squeeze In An Appointment 

Use the Squeeze In An Appointment tab to book an appointment for a student if they require prompt attention and all the current appointment sessions are already fully booked. Any time slot can be selected to squeeze the student in; it does not need to be a time slot that had been regularly scheduled for that day. 

1. Select the Squeeze In An Appointment tab. 
2. In the Create an appointment slot page that appears, most of the fields will be entered by default. Enter the Future Appointment Date using the mm/dd/yyyy format or selecting the date using the calendar icon.
3. Enter the start time of the appointment in the Start Time field using the HH:MM AM/PM format.
4. Use the arrows in the Appointment Duration(In Minutes) field to designate the time frame for this appointment.
5. Then, click the Next button. 
   
   
6. This will open the Squeeze in an appointment window. Click the New Student Registration radio button. Enter the Email address, first name, and last name of the student. (Optional) If a required questionnaire is attached to the time slot, answer the questions in the questionnaire. 
7. Click the Reserve button.
