How do I sign up for a Scheduler appointment in the Calendar as a student?

If your institution has enabled the Scheduler tool, you can sign up for any appointments that are created for your course using the Calendar sidebar. Appointments can include office hours, group presentation time slots, and lunch with an alumnus.

Scheduler is an optional feature that may not be available to you in the Calendar.

In Global Navigation, click the Calendar link.

Notes:

  • The Scheduler tool is an optional feature that must be enabled by your institution. If you do not see the Find Appointment button, your institution has not enabled this feature.
  • When an instructor or TA creates an appointment group for an entire course, all course section users can view the appointment group. However, if an appointment group is made for a specific section or is added by a section-restricted instructor or TA, only users in that section can view the appointment group.
