Book An Appointment

This page outlines the steps for scheduling and joining an ASC appointment in Accudemia.

If you need to modify an appointment, please make changes at least 2 hours in advance. Please refer to the video instructions for canceling or rescheduling.


Join the Meeting

There are two ways you can join your tutoring appointment on Teams:

  1. From the Accudemia Homepage:
    Go to the “Upcoming Appointments” banner to view your appointments, including tutor names, subjects, and the time until your session. Click the red “Join Now” button when it's available.
  2. From Your Confirmation Email:
    Open the confirmation email in your USF inbox. Find and click the “Join Meeting” link to access your Teams session.

Timing to Join the Meeting

  • Within 30 minutes of your appointment, a red “Join Now” button providing the Teams meeting link will appear next to your tutor. If you join more than 10 minutes early, you'll see a message stating “Session has not started yet.”
  • Wait until 10 minutes before your session, refresh the page, and then click “Join Session Now” to access your Teams meeting.
Tip: It is recommended that you join through your local Teams application for better user experience. 

Log in Microsoft Teams

  • Once Teams is open in the app or browser, adjust the meeting settings as needed.
  • After the meeting is adjusted to your preference, click “Join now” option to enter the “waiting room.” You will receive a message indicating that your tutor is preparing, and you will be admitted to your session at the scheduled time.
Tip: Ensure that your internet connection is stable, sit in a quiet place for better audio quality and interactions, and choose a virtual background if desired. Our tutors will encourage you to turn on your camera to enhance engagement during the session.
