Introduction

As long as a calendar has been shared with you, you can add it to your Calendar list.

Instructions

  1. Open the Microsoft Outlook program.
  2. Navigate to the Calendar screen by clicking on the calendar icon towards the lower left of the window.
  3. Locate the "Open Calendar" button in the ribbon at the top of the window.
  4. Select the "Open Calendar" button.
  5. Select the "Open Shared Calendar" option.
  6. Type the owner's or Calendar's name in the box in the next window or select the "Name" button and search for the name.
  7. The shared Calendar appears next to any calendar that is already in view.
  8. After you access any shared Calendar, it will be added to the Calendar list on the left side of the window (to access the Calendar in the future, select it from the Calendar list).
  9. If you do not have permission to view that calendar you will be prompted to request access (a request will automatically be sent to the owner if you choose to do so).
