Adding and Subscribing to Campus Calendars

UVM has several calendars that you can add to your individual UVM calendar. This guide details the different methods alongside links to the commonly requested calendars. Once added, these calendars can be toggled on or off.

Adding these calendars will not block scheduling of your own calendar, but they provide a convenient way to view important UVM calendar information within your calendaring app.
