# In the '''Create Event''' screen, check the time range on your event - if you have a 50 minute period, you may have to manually type your period's end time in the end time box. [[Image:Google Calendar Time range.jpg]]

## Please also check the repeating status of your event. If this event will be happening weekly, daily or biweekly, take advantage of the '''Repeat''' check box.

# Once you are sure your dates and times are correct, you can begin adding a room to your event. To do this, Click on the '''Rooms''' link on the right side of the '''Create Event''' page. [[Image:Google Calendar Select rooms.jpg]]

# To search for your room, you may either click on the campus you need and scroll through the available rooms, or you may use the search bar to search for the name of the room.

##'''NOTE:''' Please note the '''Show only available''' check box - if this box is checked, your list will only display available rooms. If you wish to see '''all''' rooms, even if they are not available, uncheck this box. [[Image:Google Calendar type room name to search.jpg]]

# Once you find the Room you want to book and it is available, click the '''Add''' link next to the Room name to add it to your event. Doing this should fill in the location field to your event as well. [[Image:Google Calendar rooms click to add.jpg]]

===Via Room Wizards===

Room Wizard reservations are available for reserving a free room immediately. See our [[Room Wizards|Room Wizard]] instructions page to reserve a room with a room wizard.

Room Wizards connect with the room's reservation calendar... which means that your events in a room will automatically show up on the Room Wizard! Wowie!
