This screen will also include information about your appointment details, including your advisor, the reason for your meeting, the date and time, as well as the location.

You can use the text box titled "Is there anything specific you would like to discuss with [advisor name]" to provide additional information about your upcoming meeting. Adding this information can be helpful to the advisor as they can prepare for the meeting in advance.

You may also use the two links, "Send Me an Email" or "Send Me a Text" under the option "Would you like to set a reminder" to receive an automated email or text reminder from Navigate. If you select "Send Me a Text," use the text box below to enter your phone number.
