HOW TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

Register for an account by clicking the link to the left. If you want to make an appointment but are not seeing an open spot that fits your availability, email ecc@rit.edu and we will do our best to match you with a consultant at a time that works for you.

HOW TO FIND US

We are located on the first floor of Wallace Library (05-1640).

WHAT IS THE ECC?

At the ECC, students meet with peer consultants for one-on-one help with all phases of presentation preparation and delivery, including

  • Selecting a topic
  • Preparing an outline
  • Designing slides
  • Practicing delivery
  • Managing anxiety

We also provide conversation and interview practice. The content of every session is different because consultants focus on students’ individual needs.

In-person, virtual, and small group appointments available

  • In-person appointments. Arrive at Wallace Library (05-1640) at your scheduled appointment time.
  • Virtual individual appointments. To join a virtual appointment, shortly before your appointment time, log in and click on your appointment in the scheduling system, and then select the red 'start or join online consultation' link.
  • Small group appointments. In-person small group appointments will take place in Wallace Library (05-1640). Small groups may also schedule virtual appointments. To do this, have one group member make the appointment. On the appointment intake form, they must select the "group" option and provide the emails of the other group members. A Zoom meeting join link will be emailed to the group members.

Drop-In Sessions

We recommend that students make appointments, but we do take drop-in appointments on a first-come, first-served basis. Each available drop-in slot opens fifteen minutes before its start and remains open until it fills or the time passes. This allows you to make appointments as you arrive or when you're ready to start your meeting.

*If you require interpreting services, please make interpreting requests through Access Services. We also have two ASL fluent consultants on staff for spring 2024.
