First and foremost, the best online scheduling software starts with the right features relevant to the user experience, which is not the most comprehensive feature list, as usually expressed through marketing bullet points, but the features essential for saving time in the actual task of scheduling. All online scheduling software apps support the basic calendaring feature set, it is the actual implementation that will make a difference in your everyday user experience.

How easily can you reschedule appointments? How fast can you locate existing student records? How quickly and accurately can you make changes to your appointment availability?

Most higher educational facilities need a scheduling solution designed to allow users to spend more time doing their job and less time worrying about scheduling and communication within their existing calendars. Our online scheduling software is a solution that provides everyone from principals to teachers a scheduling tool that will make it quicker and easier to keep track of upcoming appointments.

Then, the best online scheduling software needs to comply with what is really important in 2024. Specifically, the best online scheduling app needs to be secure, fast, and provide an outstanding appointment scheduling experience on mobile platforms therefore giving you, your staff, and your students the ability to schedule not only from comfortably large computer screens, but from iPads, iPhones, and Android devices as well.

What is online scheduling software?

Online scheduling software is a hosted service that allows your students to make, reschedule, and cancel appointments through a web interface. When your students want to make an appointment with you, they go to your website, choose an available date and time, type in their contact info, and book the slot.

On the back end, you set up your scheduling configuration to define the exact appointment availability, based on your department hours, as well as the times and dates when your faculty and auditoriums are available for appointments. You can start by simply throwing your office hours at the scheduling configurator and letting it automatically do the rest, or dive into the nooks and crannies of the myriad of available settings to manually configure appointment intervals, custom forms, lead-ins, appointment overlap, slot capacities, reservation deadlines, flexible service durations, shared availability, etc. to make sure that your online appointment scheduler fits around your unique scheduling practices like a proverbial glove. Our appointment software allows colleges and universities the ability to quickly and easily see staff availability and handle customized booking options to organize meetings.

Simply put, you can think of online scheduling software as your department administrator who works for you 24/7/365, does not need vacations or coffee breaks, never makes so much as a single mistake, and works almost for free so that you can save hours, money, and employees time. While other calendar management systems may not have the ability to see staff availability, organize student events, and automatically schedule meetings while reducing no-shows, our booking software saves you time so you can concentrate on your students.

Who is online scheduling software for?

If you care about time management, online scheduling software is for you. If the word "appointment" has ever bounced its echo against the walls of your office, online booking software is for you. If you ever told your students — "Let me put you on my calendar for Wednesday...", appointment management software is for you.

What are the limitations of free education scheduling services?

Free subscriptions to online education scheduling software services always come with numerous strings attached. The number of appointments that can be booked through free scheduling platforms are extremely low. Typically, there is only one scheduling calendar and only one user. Most trials of a booking system won't give you any of its advanced features with the free subscription. Reminders, payments, integrations, data entry and export, unlimited student database, and other advanced scheduling features are usually reserved for paid service subscriptions.

Realistically, if you are not paying anything for the service you should expect your data to be sold to third parties for marketing purposes, and you and your students are guaranteed to be bombarded with ads to compensate for your free subscription. Generally, you should not expect free customer support either, it will likely entail dealing with a call center. We do not recommend using free scheduling services for any legitimate educational purpose.

AppointmentQuest offers affordable subscription scheduling. We respect you as our customer and never sell you as a product.
