Setting Up an Appointment Calendar for Advising or Something Else

Dear Faculty, Staff, and Students (but especially Faculty for today's post):

Are you and your advisees having trouble finding a time to meet? Good news! There is a feature in your Google calendar called "Appointment Schedules" which can be used to schedule meetings. 

Here are the Google Instructions or you can take a look at Google marketing propaganda page for appointments which gives a nice overview.

Once an appointment calendar is set up, you can copy and send the link to your advisees and ask them to sign up for an appointment. Your appointment calendar is tied to your personal calendar, so you will not accidentally double-book a time.

We have recorded a short (no audio) step-by-step video showing how to set up appointment slots for advising.

Please contact the IT Help Desk if you have any questions or issues. We can be reached via the web at https://helpdesk.malone.edu or by phone at 330.471.8428.
