Cancelled Appointments

When an appointment is cancelled, the student will be sent an email, a notification, and a message in Handshake regarding the cancellation.

You can confirm when the message in Handshake is sent by clicking on the message bubbles icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Click on the dropdown arrow next to Inbox and select Sent. This will show the message that was sent to the student when their appointment was cancelled.
