I am trying to make it possible for my students to schedule appointments. When I go to the calendar, I can create events, but there is no option to create an "Appointment Group". I assume this is because Scheduler is not enabled, how do I enable it?
P.S. I do not know how to contact an Admin. I am using the free version (maybe that's the issue?) because I am not in a school.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @MichelleC1,
I do think you've already identified the issue. The Canvas Account Comparison - Instructure Community document shows that the "Calendar Course Appointment Scheduler" feature is not available in the Free for Teacher Canvas.
Sorry I don't have better news, but I hope this at least provides a solid answer to your question. I'm going to mark this as the "solution" as that helps us track which questions have been answered, but you can always add a reply if you have more questions on this topic.
