== E-mail notices ==

E-mail notices are automatically sent out by the calendar server upon event creation, modification, and deletion. Event reminder e-mails are sent out at two predetermined intervals before the event takes place, usually 1 and 3 days before.

If you wish to be added to, or removed from, the e-mail notification system, please send an e-mail to postmaster@calendar.bcs.rochester.edu with your request. It will be processed promptly.

If it doesn't, here are the direct links for the OLD server:

'''CVS calendar''' - feed://calendar.cvs.rochester.edu/rssxmllink?calendar=cvs_events

== Subscribing via other calendars ==

For the NEW server, subscription information can be found here:

https://www.brownbearsw.com/mc/URBCSCVS?CalendarName=bcscvs_events_calendar;Op=OptioniCal;Amount=Month;NavType=Absolute;Type=Block

A direct URL for all calendar events that you can use to create a subscription in your calendar software is:

https://www.brownbearsw.com/mc/URBCSCVS/bcscvs_events_calendar/subscribe/bcscvs_events_calendar.ics

This information can be used with Google Calendar as well


{{{
For the OLD server, you can subscribe to the event calendar(s) from within Apple iCal and have the events automatically download into your Apple calendar. For the OLD server, to do so, go to the menu bar within Apple iCal and click on "Calendar", then "Subscribe", and enter the desired URL(s):

'''BCS calendar''' - {{{http://calendar.bcs.rochester.edu/icalsubscribe/bcs_events}}}

'''CVS calendar''' - {{{http://calendar.cvs.rochester.edu/icalsubscribe/cvs_events}}}

The calendar(s) should then appear in the window on the left, and the events in the calendar itself.

You can also subscribe via Google Calendar. However for the OLD server, Google does not correctly identify the time zone that we are in, so the times will not appear correctly if you use the above link. To subscribe via Google Calendar, use this link instead:

'''BCS/CVS calendar for Google Calendar''' - {{{http://calendar.bcs.rochester.edu/icalsubscribe/bcs_events_gc}}}

You go to "add other calendar" and select "by URL" and then paste the URL listed above.
