Subscribe to Calendars

Your Personal Feed of Events
School-wide Calendar
Group Calendars

Why should you star events in CampusGroups/Ready Campus?

• Save time - When you star an event, 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.

There are 2 types of ICS feeds in the platform:
(1) Group calendar feeds: containing all public events of a group (go to the Calendar and click on Subscribe to Calendars to access these feeds)
(2) Your personal feed of events: containing all events that you "Starred" + All the events of the group calendars you starred
