BCS & CVS Events Calendars
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).
E-mail reminders
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.
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.
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.
