The homepage calendar, is the entire school's calendar of events. You can check this calendar to see what days the college is closed and what events are going on at the college.

Clicking the drop-down arrow next to Agenda will allow you to check or uncheck the events that are relevant to you (i.e. unclick the clubs you are not involved with).

Creating a Calendar

To create a calendar on one of your pages, navigate to the page you would like to add it to and follow the instructions located at {Creating Applications}.

The default on the Calendar Application's permissions depends on what page it is deployed on. You may need to change permissions so that only you can see it, so you can use it to input your school schedule.

To set who can add events and export events, click Permissions to the right of the Add Event button.

To return the calendar's main page, click Return to Full Page on the upper right hand corner.

Adding an Event

You can name the event and add a description and, by using the drop down next to type, you can set what type of event it is (i.e. Anniversary, TV Show, Class, etc). Beneath the Save and Cancel buttons are options to repeat the event (like if you have a class that meets at the same time every week, etc) and set an end date for the event or not. Also, you can set reminders to be sent to your email or to instant messaging, etc. To save the event, click Save.
