Calendar Sync/Scheduling FAQs
Q: Do students or other staff/faculty see my Outlook calendar details?
A: No.
Q: If my schedule changes, how can I update my Pathways availability so students cannot schedule an appointment with me?
A: You can update your Pathways availability, OR you can add "Busy" or "Out of Office" blocks to your synced calendar.
Q: Why are students saying they cannot schedule an appointment with me, but I know my availability is correct?
A: The most common reason is a conflict on your synced calendar or the student has class. If you have confirmed that you do not have an event on your calendar, reach out to pathwayshelp@pitt.edu, and we can help troubleshoot.
