Microsoft Bookings allows appointments for your team to be requested and managed by end users (e.g. students/clients), freeing up time for your staff.

Creating and cancelling appointments is easily done online using any device they own. Microsoft Bookings uses your staff’s Outlook calendar to provide availability and can be customized to send important email reminder information.

Microsoft Bookings is ideal for teams whose job it is to meet with individuals or groups. It can provide multiple meeting types, so you can customize the length of the appointment and which staff clients can meet with.

MacEwan’s Advising Centre started using the service in Fall 2020 to coordinate advising appointments. In February 2021, end users scheduled over 560 appointments among their six staff members.

For more information on getting started with Microsoft Bookings, contact Technology Support through the MacEwan Help Centre.

Note: faculty who wish to schedule office hours with students can use Google Calendar’s appointment slots.
