Please “cancel” your appointment on the reservation system. If you can’t find the confirmation email, please email Speaking Center At JHBC to cancel. 

Alternatively, you can “reschedule” your appointment for another better time that fits your schedule by logging into our reservation system. Or you can email us with time in advance and we can reschedule your appointment for you.

Yes, please let your consultant know that they need confirmation. You will be given a “visitation” sheet from your visit, and we will email your professor at the end of the term.

Yes, we can accommodate group appointments. However, if your group is more than 3 people, please email to Speaking Center at JHBC to schedule a larger room for your appointment to reflect the hybrid nature, space, and time needs of such appointments (either online or in person). Please also make sure to note your group members names on the appointment form for attendance documentation.

We can still meet with those who can make it; however, it’s always better to have everyone present.
