Calendar Caveats

While the calendar can be a great benefit to organizing your online coursework, please take note of some important considerations.

  1. This calendar is not synched with the calendar that appears within Connections. If you subscribe to, or make use of, any of the Connections calendars the dates won't necessarily show up in the BbVista calendar, and vice versa.
  2. When making an entry into your BbVista calendar, make note of the public/private settings.
  3. While many instructors will use the calendar to post due dates and timelines, they are not obligated to use the calendar at all. To ensure you are making the appropriate deadlines for each of your classes, you should always check the appropriate tool (assignments, assessments, etc..) for availability, due and cutoff dates. Usually, if you do not see the Calendar Tool in the Course Tools menu within a course, the instructor is probably not using the calendar at all.
