How to Schedule and Cancel a Visit at Noble Correctional (avoid losing visits)
Visiting Noble Correctional Institution requires a reservation—no walk-ins allowed. Once you understand the booking window and the 24-hour cancellation rule, you can protect your visit time and avoid losing a slot.
Every visit at Noble Correctional Institution requires a reservation. You can't show up and expect to be worked in - you need a confirmed time before you arrive. The biggest thing to watch out for? Cancellation timing. Miss your reservation or cancel too late, and the system treats it like you used a visit, even though you never saw your loved one.
Note: Cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled visit time. Otherwise, it can still count as a used visit.
- Get approved to visit first - Noble must approve your visiting application before an account is created with GTL for reservations.
- Book your visit through ViaPath (GTL) - Once you’re approved, use the ViaPath (GTL) visitation reservation site at ohdoc.gtlvisitme.com to schedule your visit.
Heads up: Wait until your visitor application is approved before registering with ViaPath. Registering early can delay your ViaPath account approval.
You can reserve visits up to one month in advance. If you want a specific day or session, book early in that window - popular times fill up fast.
The 24-hour cancellation rule is what saves (or costs) most visits at Noble. To keep a scheduled visit from counting against you, cancel at least 24 hours before your visit time. The moment you know you can't make it, cancel through your ViaPath/GTL reservation account so it's on record in time.
Noble offers two in-person visiting sessions daily, Wednesday through Sunday. Morning runs 8:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.; afternoon runs 11:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. When you book, you're choosing one of these windows - double-check that you picked the one you can actually make.
Timing tip: Visitor processing starts about 15 minutes before each session. Arrive early enough to get through processing before the session begins.
Common Mistakes
- ✓ Registering with ViaPath before your visitor application is approved (this may delay your ViaPath approval)
- ✓ Waiting too long to book and missing your preferred time, since reservations can only be made up to one month in advance
- ✓ Canceling less than 24 hours before the visit (it can still count as a used visit)
Small timing mistakes can have bigger consequences than you'd expect. Stick to the basics: get approved first, book within the one-month window, and cancel at least 24 hours ahead when plans change. Do that, and you'll protect your visit time.
If anything changes with your reservation, ViaPath should send you an email. No confirmation? Check the email address tied to your ViaPath account, then log back in to review your reservation details. Still unsure whether you're booked - or think a change didn't go through? Call the institution directly. That's the safest way to avoid showing up at the wrong time.
