Creating and Using the Questionnaire Questions in Achieve

Last modified 5/3/2024

When a student schedules an appointment, they can answer questions that you create for them. It is essentially a questionnaire so that you can be prepared for the appointment when you speak with the student. Note that the questions you add will be included in all appointments that students can reserve; you cannot tailor questions to specific types of appointments. These questions are essentially “tied” to your name, so when a student schedules an appointment with you, they will always see those questions when scheduling an appointment. You may change, add, and remove questions at any time. The instructions below are for creating and editing questions.


Creating Questions in Achieve

There are three different ways that questions can be added to the Questionnaire in Achieve: department-wide, program-specific, and user-specific. 

User Specific

User specific questions will display for appointments for the students who are signing up for a time slot/appointment on your page.
