Monitoring Appointments in Quercus 

How to check on appointment sign-ups in Quercus

 

If you have created an Appointment Group in Quercus (such as for office hours) and a student has signed up for a time slot, you will receive an e-mail message if you have notifications enabled.

To ensure you receive the e-mail notification, check to see that the notification setting for Student Appointment Signups is enabled (Account > Notifications)
