You can view UOD Events calendar which is shared with everyone at UOD. This calendar provides you with all UOD wide events schedules and updates. A web view is provided at the lower section of this page, and it is available in the bottom section of all OUD official pages. 

Important: You can only search for a calendar you’d like to subscribe to when you use Google Calendar on a computer or mobile browser.

Step 1: Ask to view a calendar

1. On your computer, open Google Calendar.

2. On the left, next to “Other calendars,” click Add   Subscribe to calendar. If the calendar has been shared with you, you’ll get an email.

3. In the “Add calendar” box, enter the person's email address, or select one from the list.

4. Press Enter.

5. Depending on whether their calendar is shared, one of the following happens:

   • If the calendar isn't shared with you, we'll prompt you to request access.

   • If the calendar is already shared with you, their calendar will be added on the left side under "Other calendars."

   • If the other person doesn't have a Google Calendar, we'll prompt you to invite them to use Google Calendar.
