How to change meeting work hours in Outlook?

Overview

Every summer and fall the official university work hours are changed. For summer it is 7:30 AM - 4:30 PM, while the rest of the year is 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. In Outlook, the "Work hours" or "Meeting hours" can be changed to reflect the times you are available in the office. This helps co-workers, using the "Scheduling Assistant", know when you are available for meetings.

Note: While you are in your calendar, don't forget to set yourself a reminder to change your schedule when the fall semester starts.
