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 may will just appear as overlapping events.
As the Registrar's Office makes modifications to those course schedules, they will be reflected in 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 your calendarinstructor calendars.
Am I able to modify the course schedule events on my calendar?

- Changes to key properties of the event will not be preserved reversed - If you delete or attempt to change the date dates, time times, recurrence schedule, or room number of the event, the synchronization process will recreate or update the calendar with the information from the Registrar's Office.
- Changes to other properties of the event will be preserved (See note below):
- Properties that can also come from SIS - Properties such as event title and description do come initially from SIS (as Course Number/Section and Course Description respectively) and if the Registrar's Office were to modify the course description, it would be reflected in the calendar entry UNLESS you have already modified the calendar events. If they are discovered to have already been modified, the update from SIS will be skipped and your changes will be respected. If you have not made any changes, the SIS update will be reflected in your calendar entry.
- Properties that do not come from SIS - If you were to add additional participants (such as your classes class's CUE student accounts), recreate the Google Meet, or create Google Meet breakout rooms, etc., these changes will be preserved through the synchronization process.

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 an a recurring event, however the behaviour when it encounters updates from SIS becomes even more nuanced than described above. |
