Setting Out of Office Hours

In Google Calendar you can set "Out of Office" hours. These can be set for a few hours in a single day, or multiple days. Appointment requests sent to your calendar while you are set as "out of office" will automatically be rejected. To get started, first log in to Google Calendar, making sure you are logged in as your UCSB Connect account.
