Microsoft Bookings is an online scheduling tool (part of our Microsoft suite) which you can use for students to sign up for office hours.

Faculty can establish specific hours of availability including:

• Custom available hours and duration of appointments. Bookings checks against your Kellogg email calendar for availability during those hours.
• Students see available times and upon booking, MS Bookings will automatically send a calendar invite to faculty and student.
• Automatic notification of booking changes.
• Option for automatic creation of a Microsoft Teams meeting, or input your own Zoom meeting URL after a booking is created.

More information about MS Bookings is located on NUIT’s website: https://www.it.northwestern.edu/collaborate/ms-bookings/index.html.

Below is an example of what a booking page looks like:
