Acuity Scheduling Added as an Additional Appointment Scheduling Solution for 2020-21 Academic Year

Acuity Scheduling has been purchased for the 2020-21 academic year to help meet the heightened appointment management needs of the campus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Acuity Scheduling:

  • Offers an easy to use interface for both those booking appointments and those managing appointments. (See the top-level appointment scheduling page – still under development!)
  • Integrates with Google Calendar.
  • Integrates with Zoom for virtual appointments.
    (NOTE: Experience to date indicates only one video-conferencing platform can be effectively supported within Acuity Scheduling. Because of Denison’s new Zoom campus-wide license and its advanced features and because Google Meet is integrated with Google Calendar Appointment Slots, Zoom has been selected as the video-conferencing platform for Acuity Scheduling.) 
  • Allows for easy reporting on appointments among many other features.

Google Calendar Appointment Slots remain an easy to use appointment management option for individual faculty members who wish to use Google Meet for virtual office hours appointments. Acuity Scheduling is recommended for offices/departments/individuals that want to:

  • Use Zoom for virtual meetings.
  • Allow students and/or faculty/staff to select an appointment type (virtual or in-person) and then select from a list of staff members or choose an “any available” option.
  • Offer multiple appointments in the same time slot.

If you would like to have a calendar and account set up for you or your office in Acuity Scheduling, please complete the calendar/account request form or book a 30-minute technology consultation with Leslie Smith, ITS Client Success Specialist, to discuss setup.
