Dear Faculty and Staff,

IT is pleased to introduce a new method of scheduling that allows people to book directly into your Office 365/Outlook calendar so that you can spend less time scheduling. Microsoft Bookings is a web-based appointment scheduling tool available through Trent's Microsoft Office 365.

With Microsoft Bookings, you can create a web page with a public booking calendar to allow other Trent users or anyone at all to book into your available time for appointments such as office hours, advising, support, or consultations. You and the person booking into your calendar receive e-mail confirmations, and an appointment is created in your calendar.

Microsoft Bookings can also be used by staff of a department, project, or group to offer services from multiple staff members.

For more information, please visit our service catalog page for Appointment Scheduling: https://www.trentu.ca/it/services/appointment-scheduling.

To begin using Microsoft Bookings, please see our Microsoft Bookings: Getting Started guide: https://www.trentu.ca/it/services/user-guides/microsoft-bookings-getting-started.

If you have any questions, please contact our IT Service Desk at it@trentu.ca or (705)748-1010.
