Important Notice for Vireo Formatting Sessions
Please be aware that appointments with Camrie are exclusively focused on formatting for Vireo submission. Due to the high demand during finals and the end of the semester, if your appointment is not related to Vireo formatting, it will be cancelled, and we will not be able to reschedule it with another consultant.
