#  How do I get a premium Calendly account? 

 



[Calendly](https://calendly.com/) is a powerful scheduling automation platform that includes features such as synchronizing with your Outlook calendar and automated Zoom meeting creation.

**The free version of Calendly is available to all and is sufficient for most users.** HGSE has a limited number of premium Calendly accounts. The key additional features of the premium accounts are:

- Group (1 to many) and collective (2 on 1) event types.
- Multiple calendars.
- Unlimited 1-on-1 event types.
- Live chat support from Calendly.

You can find out more about the differences on the [Calendly pricing page](https://calendly.com/pricing/users).

We encourage everyone to consider carefully whether they *need* a premium account, as opposed to the free account, for their particular use case. If it is unlikely that you will use the premium features, please do not request a premium license -- premium Calendly licenses are extremely expensive for the school. The following groups are eligible for a premium license:

- Full-time faculty.
- Full-time staff with responsibilities related to student support.
- Adjunct faculty who are actively teaching.
- TA/TFs with active course responsibilitiies.
- Temporary or part-time staff with a clear and specific need related to student support.

To request a premium license, please email <calendly@gse.harvard.edu>.

**Premium Calendly account users must retain an appropriate role at the school and** ***utilize Calendly to create at least one event within a rolling three month period***. In other words, if you do not use your Calendly account, then the premium Calendly license will be rescinded and you will drop down to the free features only.
