  - What time?: Use these fields to enter the start and end time for the office hours.
  - Where?: Select where meetings will be held using the checkbox(es) next to your location(s). The location options are pulled from the Appointment Preferences section of your profile.

Step 2 - Sync your External (Outlook and/or Google) Calendar with your Starfish Calendar (optional)
- Sync Your Outlook Calendar with Starfish:
  Starfish supports Two-Way Calendar Communication via email with most online calendars (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Google, Entourage). When an appointment is scheduled or updated in Starfish, a calendar invitation email (with iCal attachment) is sent to both parties (the student and the calendar owner) and users can accept or decline in their email client. This two-way communication about Starfish appointments is automatically available and requires no additional integration or installation. However, if you want your external appointments to override your available office hours in Starfish, you will set up the external calendar integration as outlined below. Note: External appointments that pull into Starfish do not show the appointment details to the student. It will just not allow the student to schedule a meeting with you during that time.
