Summary
Concordia University of Edmonton automatically loads the class schedules for instructors into their Google Calendars and ensures they remain current with any changes made by the Registrar's Office for course scheduling. The synchronization between our Student Information System (SIS) and Google Calendar happens on a nightly basis and adds calendar entries for all CUE instructors.
How does it work?
Our Registrar's Office sets the course schedules, including dates, times, room numbers, instructors, etc. Once that timetable information is published for an upcoming term, it will get loaded into instructor Google Calendars for their convenience. The addition of the course schedule events will not affect the other events you have already scheduled in your calendar, they will just appear as overlapping events.
As the Registrar's Office makes modifications to those course schedules, they will be synchronized into the calendars as well, including, if needed, removing courses entirely from your calendar.
It is worth noting that at this time, no other participants (such as students) are added to the course schedule entries in instructor calendars.
Am I able to modify the course schedule events on my calendar?
You are able to make some modifications to the events in your calendar. The type of changes you want to make will determine the behaviour you can expect.
When making changes to calendar events, it is recommended to modify the entire series of events wherever possible. You are able to modify only a single instance of a recurring event, however changes may be lost if conflicting changes are made to the same properties by the Registrar's Office. |
