For events marked "consulting" or "QueueMeIn", If you are able to access queueme.in (requires Cornell GSuite signin), which is how we'll maintain a queue for you to get individual help :

  1. Create a Zoom meeting and copy the meeting URL. It should be a link of the form https://cornell.zoom.us/j/some_10_digit_number
  2. Log into queueme.in using your NetID credentials. We have reports that the site works best when using Chrome or Firefox. If you are using another browser and experiencing a blank screen and refreshing does not help, try one of these browsers.
  3. Make sure you are in the CS 1110 queue: you should see “CS 1110” in the top left corner.
  4. Click “Join the Queue” on the appropriate office/consulting hour slot.
  5. The window that pops up should have four sections - Categories, Tags, Location, and Question. Non-obvious: You must fill them out in order - that is, you cannot fill out the later ones without filling out the previous ones first.
  6. Choose one category.
  7. Choose some tags from your chosen category. You must choose at least one for the next “Location” box to unlock. Screenshot where a category and tag has been chosen:
