How do I sign up for an appointment in the Calendar?

If your institution has enabled the Scheduler tool and you are a student, 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.

If you are an observer, you may also sign up for appointments if allowed by the instructor.

If necessary, you can cancel appointments or change appointments.

Note: Scheduler is an optional feature that may not be available to you.
