The search availability widget is one option available to staff/faculty for booking appointments on behalf of students, and it's the only option available to students themselves. Access to search availability widgets is typically based on center access. If a user has scheduling access in their permission group, they will be able to access the relevant search availability widget. Faculty are only able to access this widget as part of the SAGE module.

This widget shows all upcoming appointments for the logged in user. The student and consultant versions of this widget can be configured to display differently, either to display more or less data or to change the layout entirely.

Center Status is essentially a more restricted version of Utilization for students. Students can be allowed to view/print their own visit history, but they're limited to viewing the fields shown in the column headers. Fields such as notes and custom fields are always hidden. The option to enable this widget for students can be found within "Student Entry Choices" in global preferences.
