Appointment Booking via Canvas Scheduler

The new Zoom LTI does not have an appointment booking feature.  If you rely on appointment booking, please use the Canvas Scheduler instead.  Canvas Scheduler is a Calendar tool that creates appointment groups within a course or group. Students can sign up for a time slot within the appointment group. Some appointment time slots may only allow one student to sign up at a time, while others may allow an entire group to sign up.

Note: Only students can sign up for appointment slots in the Scheduler. 

Create an Appointment Block

To create an appointment block, you must first click on your global Canvas Calendar: 

1. On the Canvas Calendar, click the "+" button to create a new event.
   
   
   
   
2. Select the Appointment Group tab
3. Type an appropriate Name for your appointment
4. Type an appropriate Location for your appointment, if applicable
5. Select at least one (or multiple) course calendar(s) on which this appointment group will be made available
6. Set the Date and Time Range for each appointment slot offered.
   (Setting the first range and then using the "divide into equal slots" option is a convenient way to do this)
7. Select any additional Options desired
8. If these appointment slots are for a Zoom meeting, you can paste your Zoom meeting link into the Details field.
9. Make sure to click the Publish button when you are done.

Students will then see appointment timeslots available on the Canvas Calendar.

1. Students can click on an appointment timeslot to reveal the details of that appointment, including the Zoom meeting link (if provided by the instructor).
2. The student may reserve this appointment slot by clicking "Reserve."
