PRLog -- Scottsdale, Ariz. – Many college, university and technical school campuses nationwide remain abuzz during the summer semester as college students seek out year-round services such as academic advising, career services and tutoring. Scheduling these one-on-one sessions can be a tedious and time-consuming process for advisors, professors, tutors and faculty. That’s why a growing number of these professionals are turning to Appointment-
Plus online scheduling software for their session-booking needs.
A leader in online scheduling software for college professionals since 2001, Appointment-
Plus (http://www.appointment-

offers Web-based functionality that helps automate, streamline and improve this important task. The cutting-edge technology providers such features as:
• Online student self-scheduling, which allows students to schedule their appointments online and at their own convenience.
• Automated e-mail and text message reminders sent to students prior to their scheduled appointment times.
• Robust record-keeping and reporting capabilities.
• E-marketing services through iContact to keep students informed of updates, news and other pertinent information.
“Today’s students are very tech-savvy and expect to have the ability to conduct their daily tasks online, including scheduling their academic advising appointments, career services sessions and other activities,”
says Bob La Loggia, CEO of StormSource Software, the developer of Appointment-
Plus. “Our leading online scheduler provides a simple and affordable way for institutes of higher learning to offer this benefit to them.”
In addition to offering students the convenience of online self-scheduling, Appointment-
