Video Call Appointments:

Our office will use VCU's preferred video conferencing tool, Zoom. You can find the Zoom link on your appointment page in Handshake, and in the confirmation email sent to you from Handshake. This will require that you have a device that has camera and audio ability. Students will not need to download or install anything to use Zoom.
