Learning Apps > Calendar > Appointment SlotsUsing appointment slots The appointment slots feature lets you set one period of time on your calendar, divided into available time slots for people to reserve. For instance, professors can have their students reserve time during office hours each week, or the library could let anyone visiting their website schedule an appointment for a room during a set time period. Note that in order to reserve one of your appointment slots, people will need to have a Google Calendar account themselves. But it's free and easy for them to create an account, so don't let that stop you from creating appointment slots!
This is a handy tool with many possibilities. Read on to learn how to set up and start using it. Set up appointment slots- Sign in to your Georgia Southern Google account and go to your calendar
