Meeting types are being deprecated as this field is not used in New Meeting Scheduler. This article will be removed in August.

Within SS&E, Meeting Types are defined globally. Meeting Types define the types of meetings that the institution offers for its students. An example of a meeting type is "30 Minute Face-to-Face" or "15 Minute Online Chat". Students will be able to select from these meetings types when walking through the meeting scheduler wizard within SS&E.
Note: At a minimum, one Meeting Type must be defined if using SS&E's Meeting Scheduler Module
