This guide provides information for academic secretaries on setting up office hours in EAB Navigate. 


Faculty – Configure Office Hours for Upcoming Semester

It may be helpful for you to review the Academic Secretaries – Configure Office Hours on behalf of faculty guide. The most important section is to gather the office hours information from faculty:

Each time range (e.g. 11:00am - 12:00pm) requires a separate availability. We recommend planning what your office hours to help ensure you set up Navigate to accurately reflect when you are available for student drop-ins and appointments. For example:

9:00am-10:00amTuesday, Thursdaymy officedrop-in / appointments

(warning) Default appointment length for office hours is 15 minutes. If you prefer a different length of time, contact navigate@geneseo.edu and we will discuss using a Campaign (Create an Advising Campaign in Navigate).
