Scheduling Using Outlook

While everybody will have View access to all conference room calendars, you may not be able to schedule certain conference rooms. Some conference rooms are configured to require an approval to schedule. For those rooms, a request will be sent through the calendar system to the person(s), who can schedule the room. A "hold" will be placed on the calendar, and you will receive notification once the request has been approved/declined.

Please note that rooms must be booked at least 24 hours in advance, and reservations can be made up to 180 days ahead.
