Before making an appointment, please keep in mind that schedule changes are limited as there is little availability for classes to move, and one move may alter the entire class schedule.  The class availability is in a constant state of change therefore, set your appointment when it is convenient for you to meet and not with worry that earlier is better, as that is not always the case.
