**Student Success → Appointments** is the advising calendar.

## Before you start

- You need *view appointments* to open it and *manage appointments* to create or change
  appointments.

## What you see

- A dashboard for the week: this week's appointments, with toggles for no-shows and
  cancellations, the most common types, students without appointments, and a banner for
  scheduling conflicts.
- A calendar grid with a filter by appointment type.
- A calendar bar showing whether your calendar is connected, with **Connect Google Calendar**
  or **Connect Microsoft 365** for your own availability.

## Create an appointment

**New Appointment** opens an eight-step wizard that picks the advisor, the student from the
roster, an available slot, the type and the details, then saves the appointment.

## Manage an appointment

Select an appointment to open its panel: add notes, **Complete**, **Reschedule** or
**Cancel** with a reason.

## Reminders and nudges

**Send reminder** and the **Nudge** action for students without appointments go through the
contact policy like any other message. See
[Messaging students](/student-success/messaging-students/).
