Office Hours Overview

Create office hours
Setting up your office hours through the MyOHIO Success Network will enable students to schedule an appointment with you. The first time you log in to the MyOHIO Success Network, the system will provide a ‘wizard’ to walk you through setting up your office hours. If you do not wish to complete the wizard and would like to set your office hours manually, check the box labelled “Show me this Office Hours Setup Page again next time I login if I don’t have any Office Hours”, and then click the Close button.

Change office hours
Office hours made through MyOHIO Success Network can be edited or cancelled only through the MyOHIO Success Network calendar and not through your external calendar.
- To cancel office hours, select the day from the calendar, and hover (don’t click) over the icon associated with the office hours on the desired day
- Click the cancel button and select, “Just this one” or “the entire series” from the pop up office hours card window

Prioritizing students for outreach and intervention

Where should I start?
The best place to start is the Students page, the Tracking Tab (this is where all active flags, kudos, To Dos, and Referrals would be shown).
Check your Connection
If you are an academic advisor and want to look at your advisees, then make sure your Connection says: Academic Advisor or pick the appropriate connection from the dropdown menu.
Prioritize students with Critical or Action Flags- Some examples of action and critical flags are as follows:
- 6 Flag Warning
- 3 Flag Warning
- Attendance Problem—Never Attended
- Attendance Problem—Stopped Attending
- Consider Dropping Course
- Currently Failing Course
- Immediate Action Needed on Course
  
  You can filter for any of these flags in the tracking tab using Additional Filters and clicking on Add Filters. This helps in prioritizing students for outreach.
If you are reaching out to a student please assign the flags to yourself so others will know that the student has been contacted. Also try to resolve the flag once you have communicated with the student about the concern.
If there are no students with Critical Action or Action Flags, look for other flags of concern like the following:
- Academic Performance Concerns
- Attendance Problems: Tardiness or Absences
- Prevent Success
- Missing Assignments
- Needs Improvement: C-/D level Coursework
- Non-Academic Concern
