Consultation Worksheets
If a consultee needs credit for their consultation, you can provide them with this form to fill out. They should fill it out prior to consultations, but that doesn’t always happen… For in-person consultations, you will need to stamp the form using the DesignLab rubber stamp (in the cabinet). For virtual consultations, our system will now send an email after the consult. Note: It may take up to 24 hours for the email to send.
