In addition to individual calendars provided through 51²è¹Ý Email, there are number of options available for managing and reserving shared resources and rooms.
Exchange Calendars
Individuals can use the calendar within their email account to schedule meetings with other 51²è¹Ý individuals. Free busy information is displayed by default but can be modified by the individual through Outlook. A departmental calendar can also be created in conjunction with a departmental email address.

Resource Calendars
Calendars can be created for rooms and equipment. This allows an individual to book a room or resource for a meeting or event. Rooms can be restricted, allowing only a specific group or department to reserve or manage. The rooms are configured to only allow one meeting at a time (no double booking) and will automatically accept the invitation without requiring any administrative interaction.
To request the creation of a resource calendar, visit the Online Support Center below.
