Incorporating Scheduling Software At Law Schools: Appointment-plus Helping Manage Their Students
Law schools at our nation's colleges and universities will offer more than just instruction and classes this fall semester
. They'll be providing students such services as counseling and advising sessions, career advice, mock interviews and study rooms at law libraries. Managing and scheduling these services, however, can be a time-consuming and tedious process for both administrators and students, especially if the school relies on traditional appointment and reservation procedures. That's why law schools coast-to-coast are utilizing Appointment-Plus online schedule maker to improve, automate and streamline these important processes.
A leader in online scheduling software applications since 2001, Appointment-Plus provides educators, administrators and faculty an easy-to-use, cost-effective tool for their scheduling needs. The online schedule maker offers such functionality as: online student self-scheduling, whereby individuals can view services and availability online and select the time and date that works best for them; automated e-mail and text message reminders, which the system sends prior to a scheduled appointment or reservation and can help administrators reduce the number of "no-shows"; and robust recordkeeping and reporting capabilities to accurately track appointment and student information.
In addition to scheduling counseling, career and advising sessions and booking study rooms, some law schools also use the academic online schedule maker for setting resume and cover letter reviews, interview tips and advice, and clerkship advising.
Because it's Web-based, Appointment-Plus online appointment maker is accessible from any Internet connection, which makes it especially beneficial for educators, administrators and faculty who manage their schedules from outside the office and from different on- and off-campus locations. Students can also view and book their sessions and study room at their own convenience at any hour of the day, not just during office or department hours.
"Online scheduling of advising sessions, study rooms, counseling appointments and other services is becoming more and more popular at law schools," says Bob La Loggia, founder and president of StormSource Software, the developer of Appointment-Plus online appointment maker. "Students at most of these institutions already have the ability to register for seminars and classes online, so why not give them the opportunity to book student services as well?
"It's a win-win for both college staff and students."
Law schools that offer online student self-scheduling can add a button to their Web site for students to securely and quickly access the online scheduler. This popular feature can have an immediate and positive effect on scheduling procedures, as it will reduce the number of phone calls and in-person registrations, thereby freeing up staff time for other tasks.
Appointment-Plus is also ideal for managing the more traditional call-in and in-person appointments, as it provides more functionality than a paper appointment book or an electronic calendar such as those offered by Google or Microsoft Outlook.
Law schools that utilize Appointment-Plus' online schedule maker for their scheduling needs include:
Columbia Law School
Georgetown University Law Center
Harvard Law School
Seattle University School of Law
University of Houston Law Center
University of Michigan Law Library
The online schedule maker doesn't require costly hardware or program installations. Additionally, the department or faculty does not need to own or operate a Web site to use Appointment-Plus. Pricing starts at $39 per month with no long-term contracts, along with free set-up assistance with a dedicated coach.
"Our software allows school instructors, administrators and faculty to customize a scheduler that meets the specific needs of law school administrators, educators and faculty to help make the scheduling process easier for them and their students," La Loggia adds. "It's the cutting-edge solution to their appointment-scheduling dilemma."
