PRLog -- Scottsdale, Ariz. – College and university students at schools throughout the nation are finding it easy to register for campus services such as academic advising and testing during the summer semester thanks to an innovative, Web-based scheduling service.
Colleges, universities, technical school and other institutes of higher learning are turning in their paper appointment books and electronic calendars in favor of Appointment-
Plus (http://www.appointment-
plus.com/academic_
schedule_software.php?
m_id=200-1), an industry leader in online appointment scheduling software. Faculty are using the technology to automate the booking process and allow students to schedule their own appointments and reservations online at academic advising offices, testing and tutoring centers, and other campus facilities. Schools also use the system to schedule and manage on-campus rooms for testing, lectures, student-study time and other purposes.
Because it’s Web-based, it’s accessible from any Internet connection.
In addition to making the scheduling process easier and more convenient for the students, it also minimizes the amount of staff time dedicated to answering phones and e-mail messages and manually managing faculty calendars. Once scheduled, the system can automatically send e-mail and text message reminders to the students.
Over 500 colleges, universities and academic centers nationwide rely on Appointment-
Plus for their scheduling needs.
“More and more schools nationwide are realizing the tremendous benefit of our innovative online scheduling system,” says Jeff Fleming, director of marketing at StormSource, the developer of Appointment-
Plus. “Its Web-based platform and easy accessibility make it convenient for both faculty and students to schedule and manage their on-campus appointments.”
Appointment-
Plus supplies almost 4,000 clients throughout the United States, Canada and 10 other countries the tools they need to schedule customer and patient appointment times, book rooms, accept registrations and many other services. Geared primarily toward small businesses such as doctors’ offices, spas, health clubs and massage therapists, users of the service also include Fortune 500 companies; colleges and universities;
healthcare agencies and facilities; federal and local government; and freight and delivery companies.
“Scheduling and managing appointments, facilities and students need not be a time-consuming task,” Fleming continues. “Appointment-
Plus gives educational institutions the tools they need to automate their appointment-
setting procedures and free up more time to focus on their students and programs.”
