How do I schedule a meeting with non-UH faculty using the Outlook calendar?

To invite a non-UH faculty faculty member to a meeting using the Outlook calendar:

1. Open Outlook

  • Launch Microsoft Outlook and ensure you're signed in.

2. Go to the Calendar

  • Click on the Calendar icon in the navigation pane.

3. Create a New Meeting

  • Click on New Meeting in the top toolbar. If you're using the web version, click New Event.

4. Set Up Meeting Details

  • Title: Enter a descriptive title for your meeting.
  • Location: Enter a location if necessary.
  • Start Time/End Time: Choose the start and end times for your meeting.
  • Description: Add any details or agenda items for the meeting in the body of the event.

5. Add Attendees

  • In the To field, enter the email address of the non-UH faculty member (external contact).

Note: When adding a non-UH contact, you'll typically need to type their full email address since they will not be in your organizations directory.

6. Add a Meeting Link (for virtual meetings)

  • If you're hosting a virtual meeting, you can add a link to a platform like Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet.

7. Send the Invitation

  • Once everything is set, click on Send to invite the attendee. The non-UH faculty member will receive an email invitation with all of the meeting details.
