Spring Break is in the past, and registration is upon us. How to manage the many student meetings? Google appointment schedule provides an excellent solution.
Appointment schedule will allow you to:
- create a customized schedule where students can sign up for appointment times and durations set by you;
- send automated reminder emails (one or several) to your advisee the day before, 5 minutes before, and/or any other custom option you choose;
- select how and where to meet; and
- include a note about how you would like students to prepare.
Quick guide to set up your own schedule:
- Within Google Calendar, click the Settings (gear) icon and choose Settings.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the General settings page and check ✓ “Create appointment schedules instead of appointment slots.”
- Go back to your regular calendar view. Click the + Create button in the top left. An event box will appear.
- Click Appointment schedule.
