About Viewing Open Scheduler Appointments
Appointments can include teacher office hours, group presentation time slots, lunch, or other time slots. If you do not see any open scheduler appointments, don’t worry, your teacher might not be using this tool.

Select the 'Calendar' Icon from the Global Navigation bar.
In the sidebar, click the 'Find Appointment' button.
Select the course in the drop down that you want to search.
View the appointments available for the course. Faded time slots mean the time slot has been taken by someone else.

In the calendar, click the time slot you want to reserve.
The appointment window shows the appointment time, calendar, and details.
If you want to leave any comments for your instructor, you can type them in the Comments box. Select 'reserve' to sign up for that time slot.
Once you have reserved a time slot, the time slot fades in the calendar.
When finished making reservations, click the 'close' button.

You may have a parent, guardian, mentor, counselor, academic advisor, or another individual who needs to view your Canvas courses and grades. In Canvas, we call these users as “Observers” and as a student, you can get a pairing code linking an observer to your Canvas account. Pairing codes can also be created through the Canvas Student App.

In Global Navigation, click the Account link.
Click on the Settings link.
Click the 'Pair with Observer' button.
Copy or write down the pairing code (codes are case sensitive).
Click the 'OK' button to close the window.
Share the code with the observer.


A few notes about pairing codes:

Codes expire after seven days
Once the code is used, it cannot be used by another person
