How to use the new Events Calendar

Question:

Where can I find the new Events Calendar?

Answer:

LCC recently launched a new online calendar to make finding upcoming events and deadlines easy. You can find it at lcc.edu/calendar or on the Star webpage by clicking the “Events Calendar” tab.

When you visit one of those webpages, you’ll see a list of upcoming events, listed from soonest to most distant. If you prefer to see events laid out on a calendar, click the icon that looks like a grid, found to the far right of the words “All Events.”

To view additional details, click on any event. This will provide all the information about the event, as well as the opportunity to import details to your own calendar. To add an event to your calendar:

  1. Click on an event to open the full details.
  2. Look on the left side, beneath the photo, and find the link that says “Add to my calendar.”
  3. Click the link to download an .ics file.
  4. Click “Open” on the downloaded file, or drag and drop the file to your Outlook calendar. This will open a new Appointment window, like the one you see when creating a meeting.
  5. Adjust anything you like in the Appointment window, then click “Save & Close” to add to your calendar.

As a kind reminder, the calendar is only as good as the events we put on it. If you are organizing an event, or know of an event or deadline that you do not see on the calendar, please let someone know! It is a team effort to keep the calendar up-to-date and useful. You can contact your department’s designated calendar user, or you can submit a 5Star request for a Website Change & Creation or for the Public Relations Team.
