What is the Remote Office Hours Queue?
The Remote Office Hours Queue (ROHQ) is a virtual queuing tool that allows meeting hosts to manage queues of attendees waiting to meet with them for private one-on-one meetings online, via Zoom videoconferencing or in person. This tool is for hosts who prefer to have one-on-one meetings with attendees rather than host office hours or other meetings in a group format.
Where do I access ROHQ?
https://officehours.it.umich.edu/
Hosts and attendees must log in to ROHQ using U-M Weblogin.
Who can use ROHQ?
There are two roles in ROHQ: hosts and attendees (for more information on what these roles are and what they can do, see Remote Office Hours Queue documentation)
- Who can be a host: Anyone who can log in with U-M Weblogin (i.e. not Friend account) and is eligible for a U-M Zoom account may be a queue host
- Hosts are often (but not always!) faculty, GSIs, or advisers
- Who can be an attendee: Anyone who can log in with U-M Weblogin with a uniqname and password (i.e. not Friend accounts) may be a queue attendee (no Zoom account is required for attendees)
- Attendees are often (but not always!) students
