Access a Shared Calendar

Shared calendars are displayed in the left-hand column of the Calendar view in Stanford Email and Calendar. Generally, these are added by accepting a calendar share invitation via email. However, if you don’t have an email invitation, you can still access a shared calendar.

  1. Click the Calendar tab.

  3. Enter the following information in the Link to Shared Calendar dialog box:

    • Email: enter the email address of the owner of the shared calendar
    • Path: calendar
    • Name (optional): the default is the user name in the email address but you can change it if you wish
    • Color (optional): you can select a color for this calendar

Remove a Shared Calendar from Your List

If you no longer need to view a shared calendar, you can remove it from your list. You can re-link to it later if you wish.

  2. When prompted to confirm that you want to delete the calendar, click Yes.

    confirm delete

  3. If you decide you need to see that individual's calendar later, follow the instructions to Access a Shared Calendar, above.
