drop-in sessions

No reservation needed

Drop-in sessions are informal meetings or appointments that require no advance scheduling—you simply show up during designated hours.

Common in academic settings where professors hold office hours, or in healthcare and social services: The counseling center offers drop-in sessions every Tuesday.

The format prioritizes accessibility over structure, welcoming whoever needs help when they need it.
