The registration link takes you to a booking calendar page where you will have the option to select the topic, date, and time slot. 

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose the topic assigned by your professor or is of interest. To reserve a spot, choose a date from the calendar at the top of the screen. The dates in black are available for registration. After you choose a date, the available facilitators and time slots will appear at the bottom half of the screen. Select the date and time that works best for your schedule.

PRO TIP: Register for the earliest date available for your schedule. Deliberations go through when 5 or more people sign up for the same date and time. Choosing an earlier date gives you a chance to reschedule later if the deliberation you register for gets canceled.
