I followed all the steps listed and can’t make this work for my iPhone 6s. Any suggestions?

Many of the people I correspond with frequently need things turned around quickly – postings for public meetings need to go out so many days ahead of said meeting, and similar. They need to know when I’m available to get the work done!
Q. Will students who stay on campus during winter break be impacted by this change?
