How do I schedule a coaching session?
If this is the first time you are using our coaching services, you will be asked to fill out a registration form before you can schedule your session. If you have any questions about using the scheduler, please contact Mary Glavan: mg158@rice.edu 

If you're seeking general communication coaching, please select the Activate Engineering Communication schedule. 

After scheduling a coaching session, you will receive a confirmation email. Your coach will reach out to you within 12 hours to confirm the location of your session.

If you've been asked to book a conference room for your session, please update your appointment form with the building/room at least two hours before your session. To update your appointment form with the location information, sign-in to WCOnline, click on your scheduled appointment, and click the blue "edit appointment" button. Scroll to the last question (above the document attachments) and add your location information. Click "save changes." 

Are sessions in-person or on Zoom?
Coaching sessions are both in-person or Zoom. The format (in-person or Zoom) depends on the coach you're booking. Please read and fill out the appointment form carefully. If you have any questions about the location of your session, contact your coach or Mary Glavan: mg158@rice.edu 

Where are in-person sessions held? 
Our coaches will meet with you at various locations depending on the needs of your coaching session. Your coach will contact you within 12 hours to confirm the location, request that you book a room, or share a Zoom link. 

• Note: you may be asked to book your own room, especially for team presentations. If you've been asked to book a conference room, please update your appointment with the building/room at least two hours before your appointment. 

How should I prepare for my coaching session and what should I bring?
At least two hours before your coaching session, please attach your document(s) to the appointment form to ensure your coach can briefly review your work.  To attach your documents, sign in to WCOnline, click on your scheduled appointment, and then click the yellow "attach file" button. Attach your files and click "save changes." 

Please bring your laptop or tablet to your appointment. We also encourage you to bring hard copies of your documents for in-person consultations.
