Add an SFU Event Calendar into your Connect calendar

You can import one or more SFU Events calendars into your SFU Connect calendar so that you have all the events you are interested in in one place. Different types can be separated by colour.

When you go to the standalone SFU Events calendar, Academic Dates, Holidays and Closures are automatically added to each of the other calendars, but when you import a calendar into Connect, you must import each calendar separately.

Instructions

  1. Log in to your SFU Connect (email) account
  2. Click on the Calendar tab
  3. Click on ‘New Calendar’ icon

  2. Choose a colour
  3. Check ‘Exclude this calendar when reporting free/busy times’
