Step 4: You can set your availability for this semester, for a range of dates, or forever. When you need to make a change, you can always just come back to edit this profile. Students will only be able to see appointment times for the next 14 days.

Step 8: Select which services you can provide to students during this availability. Make sure to select ALL of the specific services for your location marked with asterisks – if you miss one, then you will not show as available for that service. You do not need to choose the advisor-facing services (without an asterisk) because students will not choose those when making an appointment.

Leaving this services field empty means you will appear to be available for every advising service on campus. Don’t leave blank!

Step 9: List any Special Instructions that you want students to see for the appointment, such as location hints.

Step 10: Finally, you can indicate whether you will allow more than one student at a particular appointment time.

Click Save. Repeat for any other availability profiles you’d like.
