Scheduling an appointment in Navigate

Many offices across VCU use Navigate to help students schedule and manage appointments. Examples of services you can schedule through Navigate include academic advising, study abroad advising, financial aid counseling, Writing Center appointments, and one-on-one tutoring. Beginning in the spring 2021 semester, scheduling an appointment on Navigate will be slightly different than before.
