For Counselors: Scheduling Office Hours

This article outlines how to schedule office hours within the Scoir calendar.

Scheduling In-person Office Hours

With the Scoir Calendar, counselors are able to schedule office hours visits with students.

  1. Navigate to the Calendar tab and click +New on the upper right-hand side.
  2. Choose the Office Hours Option on the right.
  3. From here, you will be able to add the office hours meeting details:
    1. Location This is not required, but can be used to indicate a physical or virtual location. You can put a link to the meeting if it is virtual
    2. Event Date (the date of the meeting)
    3. Begin Time/End Time (the start and end time for the meeting)
    4. Internal Description (Anyone who clicks on the meeting will be able to see these meeting details)
    5. Max Number of Students The default here is set to one student; however you may open the meeting to as many students as you would like. If you have no limit on how many students can attend your office hours at once, check off the No Limit option.
    6. Recurrence If you would like to make this a recurring office hour, you can click the Repeat this availability checkbox and then can select the rate at which you would like this availability to repeat.
    7. The Class Years Permitted to Attend You will be able to limit which class years of students are able to register to attend these meetings.
    8. RSVP Deadline This will automatically be set to No RSVP deadline, but you can require that students RSVP a certain number of days ahead of a visit by unchecking this box and inputting that number of days in the box.
  1. Once the meeting is saved, it will be available to view in the Office Hours section of your calendar. Unconfirmed visits will be displayed in yellow and confirmed visits will appear in blue.
