Answer

Bowdoin College does not have licensing for the use of Doodle Polls and staff, faculty, and students are discouraged from using it for polling attendees about possible meeting times.

As an alternative, Microsoft offers a scheduling poll directly within Outlook. We encourage everyone to use Microsoft Scheduling polls in place of Doodle Polls.

There are a number of knowledge base articles that have been created to assist with the use of Microsoft Scheduling Polls for more information.
