Creating a School or Class Calendar

To create a calendar that's separate from your personal one, follow these steps:

1. Log into your personal Google Calendar.

2. In the right menu bar, go to Other Calendars and click on the + (plus) sign.

3. Create new calendar.

4. Give your calendar a name, description and, if necessary, adjust the time zone. (1)

5. Select Create calendar.

6. You will see a message pop up that indicates the calendar has been created.

Edit your Calendar

1. Return to your main calendar view by selecting the arrow at the top left.

2. In the left menu, locate your new calendar. (2)

3. Hover with your mouse over the calendar and select the 3 dot menu that appears beside the calendar. (3)

4. Select Settings and Sharing

5. Scroll down to Access permission for events. (4)

6. If you want to make the calendar public, select Make available to public.

7. You can choose to show only free/busy or all details.

8. Click on Get shareable link. That's the link to post on a web page, in an email, or other method to share the calendar. Note that people accessing your calendar won't be able to add or make changes to it.

Keep Calendar Private

If you want your calendar to be private, add users individually and set sharing permissions.

1. Scroll down to Share with specific people.

2. Select + Add people.

3. Type in an email address for those you want to add. You can set permissions levels, as desired. Options are:

   1. • See only free/busy (hid details)

      • See all event details

      • Make changes to events (Editor)

      • Make changes and manage sharing (Admin)

4. There is no Save button. Once changes are made, return to your main calendar by selecting the arrow at the top left, beside Settings.

5. Any items on your new calendar will appear in the same colour as your calendar icon. (You can change that when creating events or in the overall calendar setting using the 3 button menu beside the calendar name).
