Requesting a Medium/Large Meeting
Logging in
First, you’ll need to log-in to Ad Astra:
Faculty and staff will use their network username and password to access Ad Astra (what you use to log into Windows). This will take you to your Homepage, where you can jump to the calendar or request a meeting or event. You can log in by visiting your Let Me In 1-Click apps page or by clicking on the “Faculty and Staff Dashboard” on the IndianaTech.edu page and selected “Room Scheduling with Ad Astra” in the first column.
Your Astra Homepage
The Homepage is the starting point for a variety of functions. You can check the calendar, request an event, or view the rooms across campus. Important Dates/Announcements and upcoming events are also listed. There are links to commonly used external links.
Calendars
The Calendars are built so users can see what is going on across campus.
The calendars have built in filters to help users see exactly what they are interested in seeing. By clicking on the drop down menu arrow at the “Choose Calendar” and highlight the calendar you are most interested in viewing.
Below is a list of available calendars:
- Fort Wayne Campus Classes: These are scheduled classes.
- Fort Wayne Campus Events: These are all meetings and events held across the entire campus. This includes Athletic events.
- Indiana Tech Athletic Calendar: These are all practices, games, and events held in athletic facilities.
- Student Events: These are events that are for Indiana Tech Students
Request an event
Users can request an event be scheduled through the use of the Request an Event link on the Astra Homepage and selecting the appropriate Event Request Form. Request forms lead the requester through the options available in that particular space. Please ensure you write in any special needs or audio-visual assistance (where applicable) the event has. Additionally, the maximum number of people in attendance boxes are very important. Be realistic about your quantity of people, because that will determine which spaces are available for use.
