*Pilot Tool*

This tool is being offered on a limited pilot basis. You will not find it in the standard list of tools available in Site Info > Edit Tools. If you want to add it to your site, please submit a HelpSU ticket to request it.

This tool has yet to be thoroughly tested by our team and may have performance and/or functional problems we have not yet discovered. In terms of support, we ask that instructors take on the responsibility of fielding 'how to use the tool' questions from their students as part of the terms to using this tool in their CourseWork sites. The CourseWork team will provide limited support in fielding the following types of problems:

• system errors resulting from accessing and using the tools (e.g., exception reports)
• permission issues (e.g., ability to use admin options)

What it does

Creation of the Sign-up tool was motivated by requests from faculty who wanted to replace the 'sign up sheets on the door' with an online alternative. Faculty needed a system that would allow students to sign up for office hours, meetings, review sessions and other events in one convenient place.

If a time slot is full, participants can add themselves to a wait list. The tool automatically "promotes" a participant when a slot becomes available and sends an email notification.

Who can use the tool?

Instructors, Course Admins and TAs are able to create meetings for the entire site or for particular sections. Section TAs can create meetings for their assigned sections. Students and Guests can sign up for meetings and add themselves to waitlists.
