Connect+Learn: TCard+ for Campus Space – August 19

Join the UTSC TCard+ team for an overview of how their innovative solution can help you and your division keep track of space on campus.

What is the TCard+ solution? When entering a room or space, members of the University community can swipe their TCard on the TCard+ Device. This device can grant or deny access based on a list of authorized users and/or pre-programmed room or space capacity limits. You can also conveniently receive email reports with details on accepted and denied swipes.

Please note: this solution is only available at the Scarborough and St. George campuses.

Connect+Learn: Introducing Calendly – August 18

Join Connect+Learn for this introduction to Calendly, a tool that is newly available to the University of Toronto community.

Calendly is a powerful meeting scheduling tool that makes booking meetings and appointments easy. To schedule meetings with Calendly, all you need to do is set your meeting rules and create a link. You can share this link with an individual or a group: it will enable people to book time with you, and any time booked is automatically updated in your calendar. Because Calendly has access to your Outlook calendar, it will only book meetings that work with your schedule.
