The first time you log into S&T Connect, you are provided with a ‘wizard’ to walk you through setting up your office hours, which enables students to schedule time with you. If you do not wish to complete the wizard just yet, check the box labeled “Show me this Office Hours Setup Page again next time I login if I don’t have any Office Hours”, and then click the Close button.

If your office hours vary weekly, follow the link labeled “If your office hours don’t repeat weekly, click here”.

 If your office hours recur:

1. Indicate the day(s) you hold office hours by checking the boxes for each day of the week.
2. Specify the start and end time for the day(s). 
3. Set the location of the office hours. You will be able to setup multiple office hour locations in your profile later. Enter details such as building, room number or phone number. You can also enter special instructions such as a phone conference code.
4. Click the Set up Office Hours button.

To set up additional office hours or make any changes, click Appointments at the top of any page. Here you will find links to Add Office Hours, Add Appointment and Add Group Session.
Use the Scheduling Wizard to map out your availability for an entire week or the entire term.
