Appointment Slots / Office Hours

Google Calendar has a feature that facilitates scheduling appointments or office hours. By creating an appointment slots event, you will receive a customized webpage that you can send to anybody to reserve pre-determined section of that time. To get started, first log in to Google Calendar as your UCSB Connect account.
