Export the limcollege.edu calendars to a number of "ICS" supported calendars including Google Calendar, Outlook, iCal, etc. The
CampusGroups calendars feeds are updated every time an event is added or updated.
Your Personal Feed of Events
School-wide Calendar
Group Calendars
- Starring a group calendar will add all its events to your Personal Feed (see above).
- If you are a member of the group, the feed will contain public AND members-only events.
- If you are an officer of the group, the feed will contain ALL upcoming events listed in your manage section.
Benefits of Subscribing to Calendars
- View your CampusGroups events in your personal calendar (i.e. Outlook, Google Calendar, iCal, iPhone Agenda, Android, etc).
- When a group modifies an event, it is automatically updated in your personal calendar.
- Receive event reminders (right now, this can only be achieved by subscribing from your iPhone/iPad).
Why should you star events in CampusGroups?
- Save time - When you star an event in CampusGroups, it is automatically added to your personal calendar in 1 click.
- Customize your list of events - As opposed to the Group Calendar Feeds, your Favorite Events feed allows you to select the events you are interested in, and to only have these events added to your calendar.
- Know when changes happen - We notify you when an event you starred was modified or cancelled.
