NOTES

• We use a waiting room for everyone logging in to the retreat.

• If you are waiting to be admitted, please be patient as sometimes we don’t see the pop up informing us you are in the waiting room right away.

• If you come in during writing time (i.e., NOT on the hour), we may not see you right away as we may be focused on writing or away from our desks. So, please be patient.

• If you come on the hour and are waiting for more than 5 minutes or so, please just send us an email (or text if you have our number): inforealacademics@gmail.com. Thanks!
