Your instructor may offer the option to sign up for specific time slots for Microsoft Bookings meetings for office hours, testing, meetings, or other individual sessions. You will need to sign up for a slot if this is the case.

NOTE: Please use your LSC Student Email (LSCusername@my.lonestar.edu) to reserve an appointment using Microsoft Bookings.
