How do I sign up for a virtual consultation with a CSUF Canvas Consultant?
You will learn how to use the sign up process to schedule a virtual appointment to meet one-on-one with an Academic Innovations and Canvas Consultants (AICC) staff member from the Faculty Development Center (FDC) department.
We will be using Microsoft Bookings to book the appointment and Microsoft Teams to conduct the virtual appointment.
Warning: For this guide, we will be starting from the Microsoft Sign-in screen. This screen will only pop-up IF you have not logged into your CSUF Portal. This will cover Steps #2-8.
Tip: If you have already signed into your CSUF Portal, then you may skip down to Step #9 after going through Step #1.
1. Click on the URL below to take you to the Microsoft Bookings Canvas Consultation appointment page.
Note: If the link is not opening up properly (the page says "Bad Request"), then you may need to clear the history, cache, cookies, exit and reopen the browser.
2. Enter your CSUF email address on the Microsoft Sign in page.
Alert: If you do NOT enter your fullerton.edu email address, then the page will display with "Bad Request."
