successNET Guide: Set Up Appointment Preferences
Set Up Appointment Preferences
Before you begin to use successNET with students, it is important to set up your appointment preferences on your
profile so students can find how, when, and where to get in contact with you.
In this section of the successNET instructions, you will find a guide to:
Setting appointment time preferences
Adding your office location
Adding a Calendar Manager who can edit your calendar
Setting Email Notifications for receiving appointments
Clicking Setting Up Appointment Preferences takes you to a short, hands-on tutorial where you can actually go
through these steps in a simulated environment. You have to enter your BGSU user name and password to start
the simulation.
