How to Visit Chippewa Cf (MI)
Visiting at Chippewa CF is straightforward once you handle two things: registering in the scheduling system and getting your visiting application approved.
To schedule an in-person or video visit at Chippewa CF, you need to register on the Michigan DOC visitation scheduling website hosted by ViaPath (GTL). But registration alone is not enough. You cannot create or schedule a visit until your MDOC visiting application has been approved. If you are still waiting on approval, the scheduling option will not be available yet.
Plan your group size and timing around the facility limits. Up to five visitors can visit at one time, and children under two do not count toward that cap. Visit blocks run three hours on weekdays and two hours on weekends.
Heads up: Visits must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance, and you cannot book more than 7 days out. Visits can also be canceled if the facility or a housing unit goes on outbreak or quarantine.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Register on the Michigan DOC visitation scheduling website hosted by ViaPath (GTL).
- ✓ Make sure your MDOC visiting application is approved before you try to create or schedule a visit.
- ✓ Schedule your visit at least 48 hours ahead, and choose a date that is no more than 7 days away.
On the day of your visit, keep your expectations realistic. Only five visitors can be in a visit at a time (children under two do not count), and your visit will last a set block: three hours on weekdays or two hours on weekends. Since visits can be canceled if Chippewa CF or a specific housing unit goes on outbreak or quarantine, check for last-minute changes before you head out.
- Confirm you are registered in the scheduling system (ViaPath/GTL). If you are not registered, you will not be able to schedule an in-person or video visit.
- Verify your MDOC visiting application is approved. Until it is approved, you cannot create or schedule a visit.
- ✓ Confirm your visit is scheduled at least 48 hours in advance.
- ✓ Confirm your visit date is not more than 7 days out.
- ✓ Check whether the facility or the person’s housing unit is on outbreak or quarantine, since visits can be canceled.
Before you finalize plans with family, double-check two limits that can affect your day: how many people can be in the visiting room, and how long the visit lasts. Chippewa CF allows up to five visitors at a time (children under two do not count), with three-hour blocks on weekdays and two-hour blocks on weekends. Policies can change, so confirm these details close to your visit date.
