Appt Scheduling Lead Time
Appointment scheduling lead time is defined as a count of “business days” before a student is allowed to schedule/propose an appointment with the proctor.
For the purposes of UNC Online:
- A business day is Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 5:00pm, excluding weekends and public holidays.
- However, if a proctor has a calendar exception, that makes them unavailable for an entire business day, then that day is not counted as a "business day" for the purposes of scheduling/proposing an appointment.
Appointment scheduling lead times are entered by proctors in order to require students to propose/schedule exam appointments a certain number of "business days" in advance. NOTE: Lead times are most often used by large testing centers that utilize the Online-Automatic Scheduling Method.
