Having trouble getting into a session? Here are some common reasons for this occurrence:

• Time Zone Confusion: All OASIS Live sessions are held in the Eastern Time Zone. You can use this time zone converter to help ensure you know when your session begins.
• Reuse of Old Zoom Links: All OASIS Live sessions have specialized, online meeting links, so make sure to click the Zoom link in your registration confirmation email to ensure you enter the correct meeting room.
• The 15 Minute Rule: If no registered students log in within 15 minutes of a session’s scheduled start time, the presenter will end the session. If you are unable to attend, you are always welcome to register for future sessions!
