Subscribing to Calendars
The following instructions are for subscribing to Veracross calendars using your Carmel Google account.
Log into your Veracross Portal.
On the right hand side of the screen you will see 2 buttons under Faculty Links, for the various calendars you can subscribe to.
Subscribe to my Calendar(s): Faculty Calendar, Class Schedules, and Class Assignments.
Subscribe to School Calendar(s): School calendar and Athletics calendars
Click on the Subscribe to School Calendar(s) button.
The Calendar Subscription page will open up.
For adding to your Carmel Google Calendar, first check the Subscribe Using Google Calendar box. (For any other calendar application leave this box unchecked).
Under School Calendars, click on the Subscribe button on the All School Events line.
Your default calendar application will open up Google Calendar, with a prompt to add the calendar, click Add.
Your Calendar will then populate with the School Calendar, and you will now see the Calendar added to your calendar options. The refresh of your calendar can take any where from 5 minutes to 5+ hours. This can depend on several factors, including internet speed, and application type. If you do not see any information within a few minutes, you can let it update in the background, by minimizing the calendar application or switching browser tabs, depending on your application.
You subscription to the All School Calendar is now complete. You can repeat steps 3-8 for any other calendars, that you wish to subscribe to.
If you have your Carmel Google Calendar setup on your mobile Android or Apple device, it will also update this Google calendar, with the calendars you subscribed to.
To unsubscribe to a calendar you no longer wish to have, please follow these instructions - How to unsubscribe to a calendar.
**When subscribing to multiple calendars, it is possible to have duplicate events displayed on your calendar. This is due to the event being entered in two different calendars that you have subscribed to; an example might be a holiday in the School Calendar that is also in your personal calendar. Unfortunately you can not hide the duplicate entry, without hiding the entire calendar.
