It's exciting to see the end of August and the start of September. The football season is underway, Fall is here, and students across America are getting ready to return to school. Everyone feels energetic and excited, except for the college staff and university students who schedule classes.

They find that the Grinds in Dublin has two weeks before school begins and is filled with unhappy students who couldn't keep their classes on track. These students must walk down to the administrative offices to wait for a scheduling counselor. They wait. They wait. They wait. 

Some may be seniors who have just realized that they missed Probability and Statistics. Some are sophomores who have waited too long to adjust their course schedule and are now stuck with back-to-back Chemistry and Biology labs every Friday afternoon. It's awful.

Counselors are often busy helping students throughout the day so they are unable to answer the phones to make appointments to meet future students. They don't have the time to eat lunch. The students are waiting in line for hours and wishing that they could have an exciting afternoon.

How wonderful would it be for students to choose a time when they can see the counselor. The counselor could also schedule a 30-minute break for the students to visit the new stadium. They can, and that is great news!

The online booking tool has many applications in the educational sector. It could be used by potential students to schedule a tour of the campus. It could also be used by current students to meet their academic advisors.
