The old BCS events server/calendar has been replaced with a new calendaring system, which provides separate events calendars for both BCS and CVS. To view the calendars in your web browser, visit http://calendar.bcs.rochester.edu or http://calendar.cvs.rochester.edu (two names for the same server). The new combined BCS & CVS events calendar can be found here:

Line 7: Line 7:
Anybody who was receiving BCS event reminders via e-mail from the old system has automatically been added to the new system. Reminders are sent out upon event creation, modification, deletion, and both 1 and 3 days before the event takes place. == E-mail notices ==
Line 9: Line 9:
People receiving reminders of CVS events via e-mail will continue to receive them via the new calendar server. Reminders will be sent out at the same intervals as the BCS event reminders. 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.

To add/delete/change an e-mail subscription, please send an e-mail to postmaster@cvs.rochester.edu with your request. It will be processed promptly. 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.
Line 15: Line 15:
The calendars offer an RSS feed, so you can add them to your web browser and have event info appear there. An RSS icon appears in the top left corner of each calendar...when you click on it, your web browser should give you the option of adding the feed to your bookmarks. If it doesn't, here are the direct links: The link for the new server is:
Line 17: Line 17:
'''BCS calendar''' - feed://calendar.bcs.rochester.edu/rssxmllink?calendar=bcs_events https://www.brownbearsw.com/mc/URBCSCVS?CalendarName=bcscvs_events_calendar;Op=RSS
Line 19: Line 19:
'''CVS calendar''' - feed://calendar.cvs.rochester.edu/rssxmllink?calendar=cvs_events
Line 23: Line 22:
You can subscribe to the event calendar(s) from within Apple iCal and have the events automatically download into your Apple calendar. To do so, go to the menu bar within Apple iCal and click on "Calendar", then "Subscribe", and enter the desired URL(s): If you want to keep things simple and just subscribe to the calendar in it's entirety, simply use the URL below with your calendar software:
Line 25: Line 24:
'''BCS calendar''' - {{{http://calendar.bcs.rochester.edu/icalsubscribe/bcs_events}}} https://www.brownbearsw.com/mc/URBCSCVS/bcscvs_events_calendar/subscribe/o_cf/bcscvs_events_calendar.ics
Line 27: Line 26:
'''CVS calendar''' - {{{http://calendar.cvs.rochester.edu/icalsubscribe/cvs_events}}} Note that as of March 1, 2022, the above subscription link is "new and improved"...the "Description:" field of the event now includes things like location, abstract, etc.
Line 29: Line 28:
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, 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 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 iCal URL(s) listed above.
Please note that these subscription URLs are usable with ANY calendar software...there is no longer a need for a separate link just for Google Calendar users.
