Zoom is an application that you can use to video call and share screens with your advisor or coach. You can sign up and download Zoom.

You can find video tutorials for using Zoom here.

If you schedule a Zoom appointment with your advisor, the advisor will send a Zoom meeting invitation to your email. The meeting invitation will include a link to join the meeting, as well as a “Meeting ID number.” When your appointment time arrives, just open Zoom and click that link or enter that “Meeting ID number” into Zoom.

Please provide us with your preferred phone number when you schedule a phone appointment. We will reach you at this number for your scheduled appointment.
