Career Coach Session Sign up Instructions

Each enrolled participant is guaranteed an ongoing appointment every other week for the duration of the term. 

If you are a current participant already meeting with a career coach, your account has been created for you and your sessions already entered into the system. If you cannot access your account and are not receiving appointment reminders, please email rpie@cooper.edu.   

If you have not yet met with a Career Coach, you will need to register your wconline account and sign up for an open appointment slot. Please see the instructions below and reach out to rpie@cooper.edu with any questions.

  1. To make an appointment:
    1. Select “Register for an account”
    2. Register with your name as it appears on the RPIE application, complete the required information, and enter a password to create your account
    3. Make sure to leave the “Communications and System Preferences” switched on so that you’ll receive reminders about your appointment.
  2.  Instructions on how to make an appointment
    1. To schedule a one-time appointment, select the “calendar” option. Appointments in white blocks are available. You will be able to view the schedule for the next three weeks.
    2. If there are no appointments available, or your desired time is booked, you may select “add to waitlist.” You will be notified by email if an appointment becomes available. 
  3. Rules for making appts
    1. Each participant is guaranteed an ongoing appointment every other week for the duration of the program. 
    2. Participants may schedule additional appointments with any career coach in open slots.
  4. Missed appointments 
  1. Community / not infinite resource
    1. The Career Coaches offer a limited number of hours each week and are only available during the hours listed on the scheduler. When you book an appointment, please make sure that you can commit to the full time you signed up for and to show up punctually. 

If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please make sure to do so in the scheduler within 24 hours so someone else can take your session. When sessions are missed without notice, that hour cannot be used by the career coach to help another participant.

If you miss more than 2 sessions without advanced notice, you may be blocked from making future sessions and from returning to RPIE in future terms.
